💬 Potential Interview Questions

What modern frontend frameworks do you have the most experience with, and how does that translate to working with Vue at Loop?
I have several years of experience with Vue and React, so I’m comfortable with component-based architectures, reactive data flow, and SPA patterns, which makes it straightforward to design scalable, maintainable Vue applications at Loop.
How do you structure a large Vue.js application for long-term maintainability?
I use a feature- or domain-based folder structure, encapsulate logic in composables/composition API, centralize shared UI components and utilities, and keep clear boundaries between presentation, state management, and API layers.
What is your approach to state management in Vue applications?
I prefer Pinia or Vuex for shared/global state while keeping as much state local to components as possible, and I structure stores by domain with strongly typed state, actions, and getters to keep logic predictable.
How do you diagnose and fix frontend performance bottlenecks in a Vue app?
I profile with browser DevTools and Vue Devtools, look for unnecessary re-renders or heavy watchers, optimize expensive computations with memoization/computed properties, and use techniques like lazy loading and code splitting.
What experience do you have working with design systems or component libraries?
I’ve helped define reusable UI primitives, codified tokens (colors, spacing, typography), documented components in tools like Storybook, and driven adoption by providing clear usage guidelines and examples.
How do you ensure consistency and quality across a shared frontend codebase?
I rely on a strong design system, linting/formatting tools, TypeScript where appropriate, code review standards, and clear conventions around folder structure, naming, and testing.
Describe how you would collaborate with a frontend architect and other teams to evolve the platform.
I’d participate in architectural discussions, propose patterns based on real-world use cases, provide feedback from implementation experience, and help roll out new standards through documentation, examples, and pairing.
How do you balance quick delivery with long-term technical considerations in a fast-paced product team?
I aim for small, incremental changes that deliver user value quickly while avoiding shortcuts that create major tech debt, and I explicitly call out trade-offs so the team can prioritize refactors or follow-up work.
What is your experience integrating Vue frontends with backend APIs (e.g., REST from PHP/Laravel or similar)?
I define clear API contracts, use typed API clients or composables for data fetching, handle loading and error states consistently in the UI, and collaborate with backend engineers to keep endpoints efficient and versioned.
How do you stay current with frontend best practices and bring that knowledge back to the team?
I follow framework RFCs, read engineering blogs, experiment in side projects, and then share relevant findings via demos, documentation, or small proof-of-concepts the team can evaluate and adopt.
