Key Areas Tech Experts Will Likely Focus On

1. Technical Architecture and Flow:

o Diagram and Flowcharts: Tech experts often ask for


detailed architecture diagrams that show how different layers
interact and how data moves across the platform. A detailed
system architecture diagram with data flow between layers,
APIs, and components like microservices would be valuable.

o Technology Stack Justification: They may ask why specific


technologies were chosen, such as using Kubernetes for
orchestration or TensorFlow for AI. Providing rationale for
technology choices (e.g., why Kubernetes instead of Docker
Swarm) helps establish credibility.

2. Scalability and Resilience:

o Scalability Plan: Engineers will want to understand how the


platform scales when the user base grows—what load-
balancing mechanisms are in place? How does Kubernetes
manage containerized services for high traffic?

o Resilience & Failover Mechanisms: Questions will revolve


around disaster recovery and failover processes. How
does the platform maintain uptime if one of the cloud
providers fails? How resilient are Multi-Agent Systems (MAS)
when a specific agent fails?

3. Microservices Communication:

o API Gateway: They might ask about the API Gateway—what


is used to manage the communication between
microservices? How does it handle service discovery, load
balancing, and security?

o Service Communication Protocol: How do microservices


communicate? Do they use REST, gRPC, or a messaging
queue like RabbitMQ or Kafka for asynchronous operations?

4. Data Flow and Storage:

o Data Management Strategy: Tech professionals may ask


how data is stored, retrieved, and backed up. This
includes:

 Database Management: Why PostgreSQL and


MongoDB, and what data is stored in each? What is the
data model for storing AI insights or user information?
 Data Synchronization: How do different databases
stay in sync? Especially when working in hybrid cloud
environments, synchronization becomes critical.

o Data Security and Compliance: Expect questions on data


encryption, anonymization, and compliance with local
regulations (e.g., GDPR, APPI). Details about how data is
secured during video interviews and assessments will
be essential.

5. Deployment and CI/CD Pipeline:

o Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD):


They may want to know about the CI/CD pipelines—what
tools are being used (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI)?
How do they ensure that new features and updates are
smoothly integrated into production without causing
downtime?

o Testing Automation: What testing frameworks are being


used for unit, integration, and system tests? How are
automated tests run during the CI/CD pipeline?

6. Cloud & Edge Computing Strategy:

o Cloud Management: How does Cangoo manage multiple


cloud services (AWS, Azure, Alibaba)? Are you using a cloud
abstraction tool like Terraform to handle multi-cloud
deployment?

o Edge Computing Use Cases: Where and how is edge


computing being applied to reduce latency? What specific
tasks are being processed on edge nodes versus the cloud?

7. API & Integration Details:

o API Documentation: They may ask for documentation of


the APIs—how they work, endpoints, data formats, security
requirements, and response structures. An API specification,
preferably in OpenAPI or Swagger, would be beneficial.

o Third-Party Integration: How do integrations with video


conferencing tools or HR systems work? How are tokens
exchanged, and how is data synchronized between systems?

8. Security & Compliance:

o Authentication & Authorization: How are users


authenticated—OAuth, JWT, MFA? What role-based access
controls (RBAC) are in place for different types of users
(candidates, recruiters, clients)?

o Data Protection: Beyond encryption, tech people will ask


how you ensure data integrity. Are you using hashing
algorithms to verify the integrity of video interview data?

o Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Assessments: Are


you conducting regular security assessments like pen tests
to identify potential threats? How do you respond to
vulnerabilities?

9. AI & ML Models:

o Model Training and Deployment: How are AI models


trained, validated, and deployed? Are they continuously
learning from new data (i.e., reinforcement learning)? What is
the ML Ops strategy to manage models over time?

o Model Explainability: How are AI decisions explained to


users? Do you use frameworks like LIME or SHAP for
explainability in AI-driven interviews or candidate matching?

10. Performance Metrics and Monitoring:

o Monitoring Tools: What tools are used to monitor platform


performance? Common ones include Prometheus for metrics,
Grafana for dashboards, and ELK Stack (Elasticsearch,
Logstash, Kibana) for logs.

o Alerting and Incident Management: How are incidents


managed? What monitoring is in place to detect abnormal
behavior in real-time? Are you using PagerDuty or something
similar for incident responses?

11. Development Practices:

o Agile/DevOps Processes: How are the development teams


structured? Are they following Agile methodologies like
Scrum or Kanban? How do they handle sprints, and what
project management tools are in use (e.g., Jira)?

o Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: Is there a


central documentation repository (e.g., Confluence,
Notion) where tech teams can collaborate?

12. Ethics, Bias, and Responsible AI:


o Bias Mitigation Strategies: How are you ensuring that AI is
fair and unbiased? What checks are in place during training
to ensure datasets are balanced?

o Human Oversight: How is the human review process


implemented? When and how do human recruiters intervene
in AI decision-making?

13. Technical Debt and Future Improvements:

o Managing Technical Debt: Are there areas of technical


debt, and how do you plan to address them? Technical teams
appreciate knowing about the roadmap for fixing non-urgent
but necessary issues.

o Roadmap for Future Technologies: Are there plans to


explore or integrate emerging technologies like quantum
computing, more advanced NLP models, or robotics? This is
especially relevant for scalability as new features are added.

Suggested Documents to Have Ready

To be prepared for these questions, I recommend preparing the following


supporting materials:

1. High-Level Architecture Diagram: Illustrates the entire stack


with technologies and data flow.

2. Detailed Flow Diagrams:

o Data Flow Diagram (DFD): Shows how data moves across the
system.

o Deployment Diagram: Shows which components are deployed


where (e.g., cloud services, edge nodes).

3. API Specifications: Preferably in OpenAPI or Swagger, detailing


endpoints, request types, response structures, and security.

4. Technical Architecture Whitepaper: An in-depth document


explaining the rationale for technology choices, scalability solutions,
security, etc.

5. CI/CD Pipeline Diagram: Illustrates how code moves from


development to production, including all testing and security
checks.

6. Security Documentation: Outlines how the platform complies with


regulations and data protection measures.
7. Performance and Monitoring Plan: Explains the monitoring
tools, key metrics (like response time, system load), and incident
management procedures.

8. Ethical AI & Responsible Use Policy: Details about how biases


are mitigated and the transparency mechanisms for AI.

Having these documents ready, especially architecture diagrams,


flowcharts, and API specifications, will help you communicate effectively
with the tech team. They value clarity and want to understand not only
what technologies are being used but why they were chosen and how they
interact to achieve business goals. This will also make it easier for tech
experts to estimate development complexity, understand integration
requirements, and collaborate on building a high-quality platform.
