Site Reliability Engineer Interview Questions
2,637 site reliability engineer interview questions shared by candidates
They mostly asked basic technical and background questions — things I’ve answered many times before in other interviews. For example, they asked me to explain my experience with AWS and Kubernetes,
How to update database column in middle of a production. How to run database migration How to debug production code when there is any issue. Any experience in Java/Typescript How to upgrade kubernetes cluster from 1.21 to 1.28 How to give developers access to the database.
They asked me a bunch of system design and program language related questions. I was a little shocked they asked me all those for an SRE position (maybe because I have backend dev experience). This will vary depending on position/past experience.
