The interview process consists of five main stages. First, there's a phone interview with HR to make sure you're a good fit for the Senior DevOps Engineer role. After that, you'll have a video interview with the Principal of DevOps. Then, you'll be given a code exercise to complete at home within a 24-hour deadline. The next step is a video interview with the Leader Group and the VP. Finally, there's a personal interview with an HR representative.
