NASA·Software Engineer·Hiring Manager Screen

Jun 2026
Interviewed for a security analyst role at NASA. One behavioral question, pretty focused on hands-on incident response experience. Short and to the point.
  • Describe a situation where you helped someone remove malware from their device.

“I had a decent story for this but rambled a bit trying to explain the technical steps to a non-technical user.”

NASA·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

Jun 2026
Interviewed for a security analyst role at NASA, got asked a pretty foundational networking question. Short and to the point, nothing too wild.
  • Can you explain how a TCP handshake works?

“Classic question but I still fumbled the ordering a bit.”

NASA·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

Jun 2026
Interviewed for a security analyst role at NASA, one question deep into the technical screen and it was a pretty foundational one about XSS. Not a bad experience, just short on details I can share.
  • Can you explain what a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack is and how it works?

“Covered the basics: malicious scripts injected into trusted sites, runs in the victim's browser, can steal session cookies or redirect users.”
