How do you decide which technical debt to fix first when the Product team is pushing for new features?

General expectation: Engineers tie technical debt directly to Revenue, Risk, or Latency. They speak like a business owner (e.g., "If we don't fix this Kafka lag, we lose 5% of our transaction volume during peak hours") or share a business justification

The business needs a proof-of-concept in 48 hours for a feature that normally takes months. How do you architect that so it’s fast but doesn't become a permanent technical debt nightmare?

Describe a time you noticed a friction point that was slowing the entire team down (not just you) and you fixed it without being asked. What was the impact?

General expectation: Proactivity: Engineers didn't wait for a Jira ticket; they saw a mess and cleaned it up. Scale of Impact: They improved the workflow for 10+ people (e.g., automated a 4-day manual process into 2 hours). Metrics: They cite specific numbers (e.g., "reduced deployment failures by 30%" or "saved $300k in server costs").

Explain a complex technical trade-off you made recently to a non-technical stakeholder.
