Process
I applied online.
I had two rounds of interviews.
- The first was a recruiter screening covering my background, experience, and interest in the role.
- The second was a 30-minute hiring manager interview focused on Site Reliability Engineering, Kubernetes, Python scripting, production support, reliability, and my previous projects.
The discussion was conversational and technical.
Questions
Here are the questions I was asked:
- Tell me about yourself.
- Why are you interested in Fivetran?
- Describe your Kubernetes experience.
- How have you used Python for automation?
- Tell me about a production incident you handled.
- How do you troubleshoot a failing service?
- Explain your experience with monitoring and observability.
- How do you improve reliability in production systems?
Was this helpful?
