Staff DevOps Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
ARM's recruiter reached out. The first technical round was a 30 min chat with a senior engineer in the team and mainly circled around your experience. The next round was a panel of 3 principal engineers. The round began with a coding challenge and concluded with DevOps related questions.
Questions
This is a Python script to parse engineering metrics from multi-line strings and convert them into a JSON serializable dictionary. The requirement also specified the need for data normalization, classification of metadata, and simulating compliance.
On DevOps, how do you deploy a Python script into production? How do you monitor a deployment? And there was some Docker related question.
