The process was structured and moved in stages. It included:
1. Technical Assessment – an online screening focused on general Linux and Kubernetes knowledge. Questions covered core administration, troubleshooting, commands, and Kubernetes fundamentals.
2. Recruiter Call (30 min) – discussion around background, experience, communication skills, compensation expectations, schedule flexibility, hybrid/on-site expectations, and general fit for the role/team.
3. Technical Interview – live interview with the engineering team focused on practical troubleshooting, Linux systems, Kubernetes scenarios, production operations mindset, and some behavioral questions.
Overall process felt organized and efficient. Interviews were relevant to the actual role rather than abstract questions. Expect emphasis on real-world infrastructure support, problem solving, and ability to communicate clearly under pressure.
