"Do you interest [...]" can be correct, if in a usage such as "do you interest their engineering team?", which is a correct but mildly awkward way of asking if their engineering team is interested in you (for example, if the team wants to hire you).

Neither is correct.
You have the verb "to interest" backwards. Here is the structure:
[subject] interests [object]
It is the object of the verb that has the feeling of interest. The object gives attention to the subject. The object feels excited about the subject.
So in your case, it should be:
Does [something] interest you?
Your other form, "interested in", is used in with the passive of the same verb, "to be interested". You could say:
Are you interested in [something]?
And both of these would be correct.
