Interview Assessment

SectionScoreStatus
AI Tooling Landscape
  • Claude Code deployed via Bedrock across all 5 squads with standardized configuration
  • CLAUDE.md in every repository, reviewed quarterly
  • Kiro IDE is the default IDE for 24 of 28 engineers
  • Custom Claude Code extensions for internal tooling built by platform team
14 / 15 93%
Development Workflow & Specs
  • Feature specs mandatory for all new work; enforced via PR template
  • Bug fix and refactor specs adopted by 3 of 5 squads
  • Spec quality varies -- some are too brief, missing acceptance criteria
  • Automated spec-to-PR linking in place via GitHub Actions
16 / 20 80%
CI/CD & Quality
  • GitHub Actions with comprehensive lint, test, build, and security scan steps
  • Basic eval gate exists but uses threshold of 0 (everything passes)
  • Test coverage at 81%, well above average
  • Bedrock Evaluation integration started but not yet gating PRs
15 / 20 75%
Metrics & Visibility
  • Custom Datadog dashboard tracks commit volumes and deployment frequency
  • AI-origin trailer data collected but not visualized
  • No AI acceptance rate or cost-per-commit metrics
  • Engineering VP reviews velocity metrics weekly but not AI-specific ones
8 / 15 53%
Governance & Security
  • SOC 2 compliant: strong data handling for production systems
  • AI governance policy is informal and undocumented
  • No agent autonomy levels defined -- all engineers have full access
  • Security review of AI-generated code relies solely on human PR review
  • No cost controls on Bedrock usage
5 / 15 33%
Org & Culture
  • CTO leads AI adoption strategy personally
  • Two dedicated platform engineers focused on developer tooling
  • Monthly internal AI showcase with cross-team presentations
  • New hire onboarding includes AI tooling training module
