Site Engineer Interview Questions
3,484 site engineer interview questions shared by candidates
The interviews are really open ended, the questions may vary based on your profile and experience. I found that interviewers are well prepared. DevOps and CI/CD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * simple live coding bash/shell exercise, this is just to see if you know how to work with shell * open discourse about deployment strategies (pros and cons of canary vs blue/green) * difference between ACID and CAP * difference between concurrency and parallelism * main problems in automations for IaaC * a k8s related question about QoS * open discussion about data migration/sharing * how would you manage in a queue structure multiple messages versions * open ended question about a possible cpu usage problem of a distributed pool of machines Engineering & Architecture ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At first I thought this was more about System Design, but then I found it more oriented to Software Design. * The interviewer saw my projects on github, so he asked a little about those. This was our starting point in the discussion which led to related questions. * problems in distributed databases. Why do we need the leader election? In which ways we could do leader election? In the case of an external controller managing the leader election, which problems do you see? * then we proceeded to a rather simple programming exercise in the language of choice. Q&A on the boundaries of the problem and talking about edge cases. The algorithm was already in the optimized version so he asked me, what if we had to read the input from a giant file? how would you address the problem? * python threading model Kubernetes, Scaling, Collaboration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * some questions about documentation and how to automatise documentation for software * various k8s related questions, some with a focus on storage. * a question about CNI (e.g. calico)

General questions about the technologies they use as a company and the ones you are comfortable with.
They asked probably around 20-30 rapid fire questions. Maybe 4-5 on different topics. 1 Sys-admin-ish. 1 SRE. 1 SWE. 1 DBA/data analysis vibes. I don't really recall the last. And a trick question! Be prepared for that ;)

Think about the work that you have carried out to date that shows good examples of the personal qualities that we may be looking for.
