I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Forward Networks (Bengaluru) in Nov 2025
Interview
The interview was fully on Jenkins(CI/CD), Kubernetes, Linux and Bash scripting. Prepare more Linux admin level and Kubernetes (on-prem) like CoreDNS, CNI Plugins, Interpolation(Short lived process).
Initially, CoderByte question non-protocored, then phone screening with basic questions on jenkins, kubernetes and then technical interview (includes, experience with above and they will share the remote server to test your skills with k8s and Linux.) This job will be more situable for who have more experience in Linux.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Issues you faced with Jenkins?
2. Jenkins End to End CI/CD pipeline flow?
3. If you created k8s from stratch, what all things you considered prior to proceed for provisioning (don't forgot to include CNI, CRI)?
4. Linux (offline package management, user management (like who and how specific user be allowed to login with ssh keys, how will you assign a static IP to the linux server)
White board style interview process..went for a devops interview turns out they were looking for SDE knowledge.Should be fine if you have SDE knowledge.Overall a good exp for in person interviews as everything is back to office now.
