What problem does it solve? Preparing for the peer engineer round of a Netflix onsite loop is hard to practice alone, since the round tests daily collaboration fit, conversational design judgment, and Disagree-and-Commit behavior rather than formal system design. This Skill provides a realistic 45-minute mock interview with an in-character senior IC persona, followed by a structured coaching debrief. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Live role-play simulation: Runs a timed 45-minute peer round (intro, conversational design, collaboration, candidate questions, wrap) using one of two personas — Diego (Staff IC, Member Insights) or Sara (Senior IC, Studio Data Platform). - Per-answer micro-feedback: After each substantive answer, breaks character briefly to note what worked, what was missed, and how to sharpen the response, with an opt-out exam mode for pure role-play. - Scored coach debrief: Ends with a five-section debrief scored against four peer axes (daily-work fit, design judgment, Disagree & Commit, lift vs. extract) and persists the session to an interviews log file. - Use Case: A candidate asks to run a mock peer interview, walks through a system they built, fields code review and disagreement questions, and receives a scored rubric identifying anti-patterns like title-pulling or resume regurgitation. ## Quick Start Ask Claude to run a mock Netflix peer engineer interview using the interview-peer-engineer skill and start the role-play.

FAQPage Schema
How do I practice a Netflix peer engineer interview?▼

Run a mock peer interview session where an AI plays a senior IC persona for a 45-minute round covering conversational design, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. After each substantive answer you receive brief feedback, followed by a full scored debrief at the end.

What does the Netflix peer interview round evaluate?▼

The peer round evaluates four axes: daily-work fit, design judgment in conversation, Disagree-and-Commit behavior, and lift versus extract. Peers ask themselves whether they would want you on their pager rotation, code reviews, and design docs for the next three years.

Can I run the mock interview without per-answer feedback?▼

Yes, say exam mode at session start to run pure role-play with no inter-question feedback. The full coach-mode debrief with scoring against the peer rubric still runs at the end of the session.

What questions come up in a peer engineer interview?▼

Expect conversational design walkthroughs of systems you built, production diagnosis scenarios, code review stories where minds were changed, minority-opinion disagreements, and knowledge-sharing examples. The question bank includes twelve questions with follow-up probes across design, collaboration, lift, and curiosity.

What are common mistakes in peer interview rounds?▼

Common anti-patterns include title-pulling, permission-seeking, resume regurgitation, lack of genuine technical curiosity, and trash-talking past colleagues. Peers also flag candidates who never lost a disagreement or never up-leveled a teammate.
