SRE Engineer Interview Experience - Hawthorne, California
Process
Had a recruiter call. The questions were: tell me about yourself and why SpaceX?
Technical: Design TinyURL without cloud services, and then explain how you would code it in real life.
Next steps would be an onsite interview, including a tour of the rocket factory, followed by a meeting with the manager.
