I've been at two start ups and they had me interview people. Honestly this is what I looked for. I'd ask basic questions to prove you had an idea about coding, but I can teach someone to code, I can't teach someone to be someone I like working with.
You can teach them to code if there is an underlying level of logic to build off. I’ve met a few people in life who I know for a fact will never code, no matter how smart they generally are.
