Behavioral Technical Coding
I recently interviewed for the SRE DevOps position at Zup and had a really great experience. The process was well-organized from the start, with clear info about each step. After I applied, they got in touch quickly for an initial chat, where the recruiter talked about the company culture and the job's challenges. The technical interview was with the engineering team and focused on my background in automation, infrastructure as code, and monitoring. I also got a practical assignment that fit the daily tasks well, with a fair deadline. In the final stage, I spoke with leadership about the team's strategic vision and how SRE impacts the company. Feedback was fast and thorough, and I got approved! They even sent materials for a structured onboarding before I started. It was one of the best hiring processes I've been through, with honesty and respect for candidates.

Coding Technical System Design Behavioral
In the call with the recruiter, we talked about me, the company, culture, benefits, and compensation. The technical round included a live coding session where I developed and solved a problem. Afterwards, we discussed development best practices and code review using another code example. Following the live coding, we had a discussion about cloud and software architecture. In the meeting with the tech manager, I was introduced to the team for the role, and then we had an in-depth conversation about architecture and cloud.

Behavioral Technical Coding
Had a standard chat with HR about past experiences and goals. Then, a technical interview with live coding, which included two exercises. The first was a tough one to create a TypeScript interface for a dataset, involving concepts like recursion and generic types. The second was a medium-difficulty code analysis exercise, focusing on fetching an API and using useEffect. The task was to implement logic for sequential requests with a delay. The feedback given was vague and generic.

Technical System Design Coding Behavioral
The recruiter first reached out about a different role, had that interview, and then I was sent to a technical interview with the tech lead and another developer. I was cut for that role due to not having the necessary experience, even though I did well. The recruiter let me know in 2 days and redirected me to another role. I interviewed with the manager and then had another technical interview with the Tech Lead, where we did an architecture design, built an API, and discussed some challenges. After that, a cultural fit interview was scheduled and a proposal was sent. The whole process took about 4 weeks, but that was because of the redirection, and the process itself was very quick and professional. A+ experience.
