Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience

February 1, 2019
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

My interview process started with a recruiter call. They asked a few easy technical questions and answers at the end of the call, covering topics like Linux commands (ls, kill), and the TCP/IP protocol.

I then received an invitation for a coding phone screen with the SRE team.

Questions

My coding phone round included the same questions mentioned in other reviews.

I thought I performed well, but unfortunately, I didn't advance to the next round.

  1. Fizz Buzz
  2. Recursive requests to a Directory API (URL)
  3. Parsing a /var/log/ file to identify a particular date pattern and count the number of messages logged within that timeframe.
