ItalyPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The first part of my process was pretty structured: HR reached out to set up a short phone screening, which was high-level, and the communication was punctual even when it was a bit minimal.

The hiring manager conversation was the positive pivot for me. We had a good discussion, and I was asked technical questions about how a browser works—things like request flow and load balancers, kept at a level that allowed for a real conversation.

After that, I went into a panel with two team members. I walked through my experiences and answered technical questions covering VPC, Security Groups, and Kubernetes cluster configuration. Then came the most technical stage, a system design interview where I had to design a platform to manage access requests to OpenShift clusters from SRE teams.
