      Software Engineer (Site Reliability) Interview

      27 Oct 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Xero

      Interview

      Recruiter got in touch, was friendly and asked few questions around my interest in the role. Next round was with People Lead and Product Manager to discuss about my past experience and my knowledge about Site Reliability Engineering. After a week, I had to go through another technical round with a Senior Engineer and an Engineer to discuss past experience. We spoke about various technologies I worked on, my understanding of SRE, my past experience with designing systems. Few questions around SOLID principles, object oriented principles and Design Patterns. Did not end up coding but had a good exchange of ideas and a very warm experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      SOLID Principles Design Patterns (Factory, Singleton) SRE Domain Knowledge (Incident Management, SLO vs SLA vs SLI, post-mortem in SRE)
      Answer question
