Quick and quite enjoyable, there were three rounds.

First round was a phone screen. The interviewer seemed to shoot random questions, ranging from extremely basic Python to the Linux kernel, and tried to drill down where you seemed to know things.

Second round was onsite. There were three sessions of 45-60 minutes each: two with duos of random people from the broader team, and one with the hiring manager. Pretty much all questions were about relevant things from my CV – Docker, Kubernetes, networking, and Linux. A large part of one session involved coding on paper; instead of algorithmic questions, they were mostly about Python itself (e.g., explain decorators). The hiring manager focused on a single problem about configuration management and evolved it as I answered.

Third round was a generic HR interview, supposed to be onsite. However, due to a sudden unavailability of the interviewer, we conducted it a day later over the phone. These were standard, rather inconsequential questions like, "How did you resolve a conflict within your team previously?"

Overall, a really good experience. However, the background check (after accepting the offer) took almost 2 months.
