For interviewing manager position, definitely keep your technical skills sharp. Do expect programming questions (to write code) and also architectural / technical design questions related to distributed computing. It could be quite open ended though. Moreover, I felt culture fit and team fit were major consideration as well. So try to prep for behavioral questions related to people/team management. Do express yourselves confidently.

General management behavioral questions, about your background/experience. Technical rounds are more scenario based problem solving questions. Really enjoyed the entire interview process and the team. Everyone is very professional and HR recruiter/coordinators are on top of things. I liked the Hiring manager and the team interviewed me. Accepted the position.

Every discussion was centered on a real business challenge the team is currently tackling. Anchored by that challenge, we explored product and engineering strategy, risk management, stakeholder alignment, team growth, and approaches to ongoing challenges. The process helped me see the problem from multiple perspectives and understand the shared goals driving their decisions.
