I joined the interview call and introduced myself briefly, mentioning my experience with PHP, Magento, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and MySQL. The interviewer gave a quick overview of the company and the role, then jumped straight into technical questions. First, they asked me to solve a coding problem. It was a PHP-related task where I had to manipulate an array efficiently. I clarified the requirements, then discussed my approach before writing the code. I chose a solution using PHP’s built-in functions to optimize performance, explaining the time complexity as I wrote it. Next, they followed up with a database-related question. I had to write an SQL query to fetch data efficiently from a large table with joins. I explained indexing, query optimization, and why I used specific joins over others. Then came a Magento-specific scenario: they asked how I would customize a module without modifying the core. I explained how to use plugins and observers, discussing the best practices for extending Magento functionalities while maintaining upgradability. With a few minutes left, they asked if I had any questions. I inquired about their development workflow, CI/CD pipeline, and how they handle Magento upgrades. The interviewer gave insights into their tech stack and process. We wrapped up with a quick discussion about next steps. I felt confident about my performance, having demonstrated my problem-solving skills and Magento expertise effectively within the short time frame.
