Process
I applied through another source. The process took two weeks.
I had a first phase with a recruiter who was very kind. She explained the position to me, and I talked a little bit about my background. Then I was asked if I knew Grafana and why I put myself forward for this position.
Questions
Do you know Web API REST? What is your experience with Google Cloud? Do you know our products? If yes, have you ever used them?
