The process took 3.5 months. There were 3 stages before the offer stage.

• Started off with a phone screen with the recruiter, and there was nothing complicated here.
• A more in-depth chat with a senior engineer about my CV, the projects, and the tech I've worked on or with. I was also asked how to take an app from code on my laptop to production, i.e. what components and features would you need, thinking of deployments, frontend, backend, db, containerised app, etc. I was also given an easy Python question.
• I was given about a week or so, and it's flexible, to complete a Kubernetes take-home assignment. This involved Docker, k8s Services, and increasing the reliability of deployments. You should definitely reach out to Quantexa if you get stuck. You then have a 2-hour call with 2 people. I was told the head of DevOps would be there, but I got 2 principal engineers instead, who are also line managers. We went through the assignment, finishing the last task off, and then I gave a presentation on something tech-related for 10 mins with another 10 mins for questions. We then talked more about my experience and what I was looking for.

What tech have you used?
