Initial Screening: A conversation with HR focusing on background, professional certifications (like MTCNA, Cisco DevNet), and language proficiency. They were particularly interested in my German B2 and English C1 levels. Technical Interview: A deep dive with the Lead Engineer. We discussed infrastructure for high-traffic platforms (like Bimeh.com or Safar.com). Questions focused on Kubernetes scaling (referencing my experience with 100k concurrent users), CI/CD pipeline design, and observability using tools like Grafana and Zabbix. Operational Focus: A significant part of the interview involved discussing efficiency and cost-saving. I shared how I automated onboarding with n8n to reduce manual steps by 70% and my approach to severity-based alerting to improve response times. Management Round: A final meeting with the CTO/Department Head to discuss long-term reliability strategies and how DevOps execution bridges with business impact."
