Abstract
As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become integrated into mainstream software development, the foundational competencies required of software engineers are evolving. However, technical interview methodologies haven’t changed, emphasizing algorithmic problem solving. This paper argues that the shift toward AI-augmented software engineering necessitates a re-evaluation of how engineers are assessed during hiring. We propose a new framework for technical interviews that emphasizes prompt engineering, AI-assisted prototyping and the ability to critically assess AI-generated solutions over traditional code-from-scratch problem solving. We further discuss implementation strategies and implications for hiring practices as AI continues to reshape the software engineering landscape.
