I applied online. The process took two months.

The interview process was well organised and consisted of several rounds.

• One technical interview focused on Linux.
• Another technical interview focused on server hardware and troubleshooting.
• The remaining interviews were mainly behavioural, with a strong emphasis on decision-making, problem-solving, communication, and how you handle real-life situations at work.

Many of the questions were based on past experiences, such as resolving production incidents, prioritising tasks, working with different teams, and making decisions under pressure. The interviewers wanted to understand how you think through problems and explain your approach, rather than just testing technical knowledge. The interviewers were professional and friendly, and the overall experience was challenging but fair.

After the interview process, the recruiter shared that the overall feedback was positive, with the hardware interview identified as the main area for improvement. However, they also mentioned that hiring for the role had been paused due to an internal issue and that they would reach out again if or when the hiring process resumed.

How do you prioritise multiple critical issues? How would you troubleshoot a Linux server that is not responding? Tell me about a time you had to make a difficult decision during an incident. Describe a situation where you disagreed with a teammate and how you resolved it. Walk through the steps to diagnose a server hardware failure.
