Use these scenarios to shape your role; they are hiring guidance, not a claim about a specific candidate’s availability.
A product workflow with a clear owner
Choose the customer or internal workflow that needs capacity. Give the engineer the existing architecture, acceptance criteria and a product contact who can resolve questions.
Data work with a testable output
Define the source systems, transformations and expected downstream use. Ask how the engineer would validate freshness and correctness, then agree the evidence needed to accept the work.
Deployment work that reduces release friction
Identify the manual steps or environment differences slowing your team. Scope a concrete improvement to the build, test or deployment process and assign a reviewer for production changes.
Mountain time · schedule by agreement
Define Mountain-time decisions and handoffs.
List the Mountain-time meetings and release windows your Denver team needs covered. Confirm candidate availability for those specific sessions and keep decisions, blockers and handoffs in a shared written workflow.
