      Software Engineer, Infrastructure Interview

      Oct 12, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OpenAI (London, England) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      This is the most disgusting and ridiculous interview I have seen in my 10 years of IT experience. Firstly this role had no clear JD(was told that its being fleshed out). The panelist confirmed that the role requires the knowledge of terraform, kubernetes. Firstly round was a design round and comes the most funniest part. I was told to build the API level design for a system. For developers and application architects, this absolutely makes sense. How many engineers who has infra knowledge is being involved in application architecture these days? They think they need gen agent to work with them and no clue on why they want to hire humans. Will never recommend people to appear for this company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design a GitHub like system and how the user interacts with it.
