      Senior SRE Interview

      5 Oct 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Berlin
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at JetBrains (Berlin) in Aug 2025

      Interview

      I do not remember the exact stages, but here are the approx: 1. HR Call (30 min). 2. Technical interview (90 min). 3. Take-home assignment (7 days). 4. System Design (90 min). 5(?) Probably some behavioral interview. HR Call: standard questions about experience and salary expectations Technical interview (senior + EM + HR shadowing): 20 min you speak about a project of your choice from your career; 15-20 min questions in regards to the project; 20 min questions about a programming language (Go in my case); 10 min DB and message queues; 10 min infra questions; 10 min questions from you Downsides: HR's English level wasn't great, so I could barely grasp the overall process; the technical interview was not in English (and I did not push to speak in English, which was a mistake from my side), almost no feedback. Tips: do not try to make jokes or outsmart your interviewers, try to guess the expected answers; otherwise, non-matching their handbook yet correct answer might be considered as incorrect.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Golang slices/sync primitives/interfaces/threads. How to improve a "very slowly" working application? Name database index types and how they work. What is k8s? What are the Kubernetes mechanics for extending its API?
