its one round with one hour conversation.The interview process consisted of multiple stages designed to evaluate both technical expertise and problem-solving ability. It began with an initial recruiter screening where we discussed my background, experience with DevOps practices, and alignment with the role. This was followed by one or more technical interviews that focused on areas such as cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, infrastructure as code, and system design. During these rounds, I was asked to explain real-world scenarios, troubleshooting approaches, and the architectural decisions I’ve made in previous projects. There were also discussions around coding practices, automation, and operational reliability
Two rounds of interview both over the zoom. Got the confirmation within a week.
