Senior JavaScript and TypeScript jobs

At this level the language stops being the subject. What these employers are buying is somebody who can hold a system in their head — the build, the boundaries between services, the places where types stop protecting anything — and make a change that does not create three more.

The typing question is a judgement question

Senior interviews rarely ask whether you know a language feature. They ask where the types come from at the edges of the system, what you do with data that arrives unvalidated, and when you decided a stricter configuration was worth the migration cost. There is no single right answer, and the interviewer is listening for whether you have actually paid that cost rather than read about it.

Expect to be asked about the build

Bundlers, module formats, package boundaries and the slow test suite are senior territory in this ecosystem in a way they are not in most others, because they are where the day-to-day pain lands. A candidate who has made a build twice as fast, and can explain what they measured to know it, tends to have an easier interview than one who has only added features on top of it.
