5 interviews focused on team specifics. File storage, DBs, caches etc. 2 coding rounds - questions were a bit vague initially Design rounds are very interactive and low level. Focus on low level implementation

The interview process consisted of multiple rounds, including an initial recruiter screening, a hiring manager discussion, and several technical interviews. The technical rounds focused on distributed storage systems, Linux internals, troubleshooting, Python automation, test design, and scalability challenges. The interviewers were professional and knowledgeable. Many questions were based on real-world scenarios involving storage clusters, debugging production issues, and designing automated test frameworks. There was also discussion around Ceph, file systems, performance bottlenecks, and cross-functional collaboration. The overall process was thorough but fair and gave candidates a good opportunity to demonstrate both technical depth and practical problem-solving skills.
