DevOps Engineer interview questions you might get
A sample of the starting questions. The live interview follows up on your answer, so no two sessions go the same way.
-
A deployment went out and error rates doubled. Walk me through the first 15 minutes.
What it tests: Incident triage.
-
Pods keep restarting with OOMKilled. How do you investigate and fix it?
What it tests: Kubernetes debugging.
-
Design a pipeline that deploys to staging and production with a manual gate and automatic rollback.
What it tests: Delivery design.
-
How do you decide what deserves a page at 3 a.m.?
What it tests: SLO and alerting judgment.
-
How would you keep secrets out of your repository and your container images?
What it tests: Security hygiene.
How a session works
About 20–30 minutes from setup to report. End any time and you still get feedback on what was covered.
-
Set your target
Pick a role, level and stack. Add a job description or your resume if you want questions about your real projects.
-
Answer live
Speak or type. The interviewer follows up on thin answers, raises the difficulty when you're doing well and switches to code when it fits.
-
Read the notes
A report scores every competency, quotes the answers that cost you, and gives you a prep plan for the next session.
A report that quotes you, not a pat on the back
Every score links back to something you actually said.
-
Competency scores
Weighted to the role you picked, so a system design gap counts more for a senior backend role than for a frontend junior.
-
STAR check on every story
See which part of each behavioral answer was missing — usually the Result.
-
How you sounded
Filler words, hedging, "I" versus "we", and whether you cited real numbers — measured from your words, and compared between the first and second half of the interview.
-
A prep plan
The two or three things to practice next, and a skill graph that tracks them across sessions.
Competencies — sample report
STAR — "Tell me about a missed deadline"

Questions
Which cloud does it use?
AWS by default. Name Azure or GCP in your stack and questions follow.
Does it cover SRE roles?
Yes. Set your role to 'Site Reliability Engineer' to emphasize SLOs, reliability and incident work.
Is there a hands-on lab?
Not yet. Sessions are conversational with scenario questions; a hands-on environment is on the roadmap.
Is it free to try?
Yes. Each month you get a free interview of up to 10 minutes with its scored report. Paid plans add full-length interviews, every track and the full 360 report.
