INTERVIEW PREPARATION
The skills below are where the questions will start; rehearse how you actually used each one:
- Infrastructure: “What's a real example of you using Infrastructure under real constraints? Take me through the details.”
- Python: “Expect to be asked to describe how you'd profile and fix a slow Python path rather than guessing at the cause. Pick the example you know best.”
- Java: “Talk me through object-oriented design choices and reasoning through a live coding exercise. Real work only, not a textbook answer.”
The experience asked for here is 8+ years of relevant experience — a general summary of past duties won't carry the answer.
