Preparation at Adidev Technologies is about demonstrating depth rather than just broad knowledge. You should be prepared to dive deep into the "why" behind your technical choices, not just the "how."

• Technical Proficiency – This evaluates your hands-on experience with our core stack (e.g., AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, CI/CD tools). You should be ready to discuss trade-offs between different architectural patterns and tools.
• Problem-Solving Ability – We look for candidates who think systematically when faced with an outage or a complex bottleneck. Explain your diagnostic process clearly, showing how you isolate variables and test hypotheses.
• Leadership and Influence – Even in technical roles, we value the ability to drive change. Demonstrate how you have mentored peers, improved team processes, or advocated for best practices that reduced toil for others.
• Culture Fit – We thrive on collaboration and radical transparency. Show us how you communicate during challenging projects and how you actively seek feedback to improve your work.

The interview process at Adidev Technologies is designed to be thorough and reflective of the collaborative environment you will join. It typically begins with a technical screening to establish a baseline of your expertise, followed by a series of in-depth rounds that focus on architecture, coding, and behavioral alignment. We place a high value on consistency across all rounds, ensuring that every interviewer gets a clear picture of your problem-solving style.

The pace is deliberate and rigorous. We expect candidates to be prepared for deep-dive discussions where interviewers will challenge your assumptions and probe the limits of your technical knowledge. Our philosophy is that the interview should be a two-way dialogue, so we encourage you to ask meaningful questions about our technology stack and our team's challenges.

The visual timeline above illustrates the progression from initial screens to final decision-making. You should interpret this as a roadmap for your energy management; the technical rounds require focused, sustained problem-solving, while the final behavioral rounds require clear communication of your professional values.

Cloud Infrastructure and Scalability

We evaluate your ability to architect for the cloud, focusing on security, performance, and cost-efficiency. Strong performance involves demonstrating a deep understanding of cloud-native services and the ability to design for high availability.

Be ready to go over:

• Cloud provider-specific networking (VPCs, subnets, peering).
• IAM policies and the principle of least privilege.
• Auto-scaling strategies and load balancing.
• Advanced concepts: Multi-region disaster recovery, serverless architecture trade-offs.

Example questions or scenarios:

• "How would you design a secure, scalable VPC architecture for a multi-tier application?"
• "Explain the steps you would take to migrate a monolithic legacy application to a containerized microservices architecture."

As a DevOps Engineer, your primary responsibility is to remove friction from the software development lifecycle. You will spend a significant portion of your time designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, which means you must be comfortable with tools that facilitate automated testing, security scanning, and deployment. You will be the primary point of contact for infrastructure-related issues, necessitating a strong grasp of incident response and post-mortem processes.

Collaboration is essential. You will work closely with Software Engineers to ensure their applications are production-ready and with Security teams to maintain compliance and data protection. You will drive initiatives that reduce manual toil, such as automating environment provisioning, and you will contribute to the long-term strategy for our cloud infrastructure, ensuring it remains cost-effective as we scale.

A competitive candidate for the DevOps Engineer position will possess a mix of operational experience and a development-oriented mindset.

• Must-have skills
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, Go, or Bash).
  • Extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Deep understanding of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience managing CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
• Nice-to-have skills
  • Experience with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd).
  • Expertise in cost management tools like CloudHealth or Kubecost.
  • Familiarity with compliance-as-code and security automation (DevSecOps).

Q: How much preparation time do you recommend? A: Most successful candidates spend 2–3 weeks of focused preparation, specifically reviewing their past projects and brushing up on the core technologies mentioned in the job description.

Q: What differentiates top-tier candidates? A: The best candidates don't just know the tools; they understand the business impact of their infrastructure choices. They can clearly articulate the trade-offs between speed, cost, and reliability.

Q: Is there a specific coding language I should focus on? A: While we are language-agnostic, Python and Go are most common in our environment. Being able to write clean, maintainable, and testable scripts is more important than knowing a specific syntax.

Q: How is the remote work policy structured? A: Depending on the location and the specific team, our roles vary between remote, hybrid, and onsite. Please verify your specific location's expectations with your recruiter during the initial screen.

• Own your failures: When discussing past projects, be honest about what went wrong. We value candidates who have learned from outages and can explain how they improved processes to prevent recurrence.
• Visualize the architecture: During whiteboard or design sessions, don't just talk; draw. Clear, logical diagrams are essential for communicating complex system designs effectively.
• Focus on the "Why": Whenever you suggest a tool or a process, be prepared to explain why it is the best fit for Adidev Technologies specifically, rather than just stating it is a popular industry standard.

The DevOps Engineer position at Adidev Technologies is a pivotal role that offers significant influence over our technical trajectory. Success here requires a blend of rigorous technical skill, a proactive approach to automation, and the ability to collaborate across diverse engineering teams. By focusing on your architectural decision-making processes and your ability to learn from operational challenges, you will be well-positioned to succeed.
