Questions like subnet mask, walk web request interadction (including OSI model details, and HTTP protocol, including newer versions with binary mode, etc) , coding question for counting occurrences of IPs, and another coding question that requires counting frequency in window using epoch timestamps.

1. Exploratory call: With the HM, went good. 2. Coding (probably name it as "I know more than you" round): This particular engineer/interviewer was amateur, though he claims as Lead DevOps. The problems he throws were neither from competitive coding nor from real life scenarios. Picks one of the absurd topic from python which you may either solve differently or never used in your life. And very adamant that wants to solve in the method he thinks/understands. Of all, he struggled a lot explain the problem itself and always wants the answer which he has in his mind. Then throws the python jargons, mostly to show off I know more than you. 3. Technical Deep Dive: One of the team member, mostly on the resume. 4. Bar raiser Overall the interview process was noway closer to PSRE or SRE Architect. 1. Observed that all these SREs from same/similar company and culture. You may fit it if you are from same company. 2. The tech stack is bit absurd IMHO, mostly the team is keep reinventing the same wheel. Which is already available in the open source. 3. Thanks to that interviewer, will not opt for CRED again. If you are a python developer, with bit of system knowledge you may go through this.
