Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - Tokyo, Japan

June 30, 2026

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

Recruiter -> Hiring Manager -> 3 technical rounds including:

Domain Knowledge
System Design
Programming

Domain Knowledge tests both your practical and in-depth knowledge within a debugging session. System Design tests your ability to design a high availability pull-based distributed system. Programming tests your ability to "proactively" handle all edge cases of a function. I'm not quite "proactive", so even though I solved all the follow-up questions, I still did not pass.
