Frequently asked questions about hiring your next software engineer
Look for proficiency in programming languages relevant to your tech stack (e.g., Java, Python, JavaScript), understanding of data structures and algorithms, knowledge of software design patterns, experience with version control systems (e.g., Git), and familiarity with agile development methodologies.
While a CS degree can provide a strong foundation, it’s not always essential. Many successful engineers are self-taught or come from coding bootcamps. Focus on the candidate’s practical skills, problem-solving abilities, and relevant experience rather than formal education alone.
Senior engineers typically have 5+ years of experience, deeper technical knowledge, experience with system design and architecture, strong problem-solving skills, and often leadership abilities. Junior engineers are usually earlier in their careers and may require more guidance and mentoring.
Use coding challenges, algorithmic problems, and system design questions. Ask candidates to explain their thought process as they solve problems. Look for logical thinking, creativity, and the ability to consider various approaches and trade-offs.
While experience in your tech stack is beneficial, don’t overlook candidates with strong fundamentals who have worked with different technologies. Good engineers can often adapt quickly to new languages and frameworks. Consider the candidate’s ability to learn and their overall problem-solving skills.
Cloud platform experience is increasingly important as many companies utilize cloud services. Familiarity with platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud can be valuable. However, the level of importance depends on your specific infrastructure and projects.
Look for strong communication skills, teamwork abilities, adaptability, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to learning. These soft skills are crucial for collaboration, code reviews, and adapting to evolving technologies and project requirements.
Review their GitHub repositories or ask for code samples. During interviews, discuss their approach to writing clean, maintainable code. Look for understanding of best practices, code organization, and ability to write efficient and readable code.
While not all Software Engineers need to be DevOps experts, familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (e.g., Docker), and basic system administration can be beneficial. The level of DevOps knowledge needed depends on your team structure and development processes.
