Software Engineer – Using AI interview questions
All 12 questions on this track, in the order you answer them. In the quiz you answer one at a time — type or speak — then get a score and feedback.
-
How do you use AI tools in your day-to-day development?
What a strong answer includes
A specific task, the tool, and what you still do yourself.
-
When do you trust generated code, and when do you not?
What a strong answer includes
A low-risk use, a case you re-read or rewrite, and how you test either one.
-
How do you review code that you or a teammate generated with AI?
What a strong answer includes
You read it as if a teammate wrote it: behavior, edge cases, and tests, not just whether it compiles.
-
Tell me about a time an AI suggestion was wrong. What did you do?
What a strong answer includes
The bad suggestion, how you noticed, and what you shipped instead.
-
How has AI changed the way you debug?
What a strong answer includes
Where it speeds a search, and where you still need logs, a repro, or the code itself.
-
How do you keep secrets and private code out of AI tools?
What a strong answer includes
What you paste, what you refuse to paste, and any team rule you follow.
-
How do you use AI to write tests without shipping empty tests?
What a strong answer includes
You check the assertion, a case that would fail if the bug returned, and you run the test.
-
When would you rather write the code yourself?
What a strong answer includes
A core path, a design you need to understand, or a change small enough that prompting is slower.
-
How do you explain an AI-assisted change in a pull request?
What a strong answer includes
What the change does, what you verified, and that a reviewer can follow it without the chat log.
-
How do you stay able to debug code you did not type?
What a strong answer includes
You can explain the path, you ran it, and you did not merge a block you cannot debug.
-
A teammate pastes AI output without understanding it. What do you do?
What a strong answer includes
You ask them to walk through it, and you block the parts they cannot explain.
-
How do you tell whether an AI tool is actually helping?
What a strong answer includes
Time saved on a real task, defects that came with it, and a case where you stopped using it.
