It seems most folks aren't thinking too far ahead, judging by the average length of employment of 18 months, but here's a good question imo:

What would it take for me to get a promotion to the next level?

This helps clarify both what makes a star contributor at your current level, what the team values in their people, and how your hiring team thinks about promotions. It could also reveal if the company lacks clear definitions for career grading (helllllo, startups!) or, if other engineers interviewing you can't answer this question, it could point to management/communication problems within the org.
