- make sure you have bullet-proof access management system for the database - make sure all data is anonimized - make thoughtful and informed choices as per what analysed data and conclusions can be broader shared with diverse audiences - if you have to publish any data analysis results towards wider audience, make sure the size of the sample group is big enough to avoid possibility of identifying individuals based on data input

Your existing engineering culture and practices will give you a"snowball effect" - great engineers and great practices already in your organisation will organically attract more great engineer and adoption of more good practices which in turn... and so on and so forth. So make sure you get the cycle right. Follow the engineers lead on how they believe candidates for your engineering roles should be vetted and enable team-insight-driven decision making on hiring.

Depending on how senior is the role you're applying for, think about answering how can you actively add value to company's operation (immediate, tactical) or vision (long-term, strategic) - or best, both. Doing some soul-searching beforehand and thinking your own genuine answer through is advised - the hiring team are humans and they look for other humans with whom they can authentically connect while fulfilling their jobs/missions together.
