Devops Engineer Interview Experience

August 1, 2022
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process consisted of:

  • A 15-minute screening with a recruiter.
  • A 1-hour technical interview.

I did not advance to the final round, which would have been an hour-long discussion with managers about leadership abilities.

It appears they are seeking experienced software developers with some cloud knowledge, rather than experienced cloud engineers with some coding skills. This was surprising, given the job posting only required two years of experience in object-oriented programming. I felt somewhat misled by this discrepancy.

If you haven't developed a pipeline end-to-end on your own that stores data in an array or hash as it progresses, it may not be worth applying.

Questions

Describe CI/CD and what it means to you.

Live coding: work through ingesting a file and storing the phrase and number of occurrences it appears in the file.
