What Interviewers Evaluate

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a solutions architect?

Application architects focus specifically on the internal structure and design of software applications. Solutions architects take a broader view including infrastructure, integration, and business process alignment.

What design patterns should I know?

Know CQRS, event sourcing, hexagonal architecture, domain-driven design, repository pattern, and strategy pattern thoroughly. Be prepared to discuss when each is appropriate and their trade-offs.

Will I need to code in interviews?

Some interviews include coding rounds, but the emphasis is on design discussions, whiteboard architecture, and evaluating trade-offs. You should demonstrate deep technical knowledge through your design choices.

How important is domain-driven design?

Very important for enterprise applications. Understanding bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events, and ubiquitous language is expected. DDD principles frequently come up in architecture discussions.
