- When did you get introduced to DevOps? The recruiter couldn't define what DevOps was for him, the question wasn't about just tools (which is good), but it felt that DevOps as a principle of automating everything and providing infrastructure to development teams wasn't the expected answer. - There was a question about data processing pipelines. My understanding that it was about using SQL vs NoSQL databases for storing data, but I could be wrong. - The question about preferable authentication and authorization mechanism for a bunch of services interacting with each other. During that question, I think, the interviewer mentioned OAuth. I have a feeling that my answer about JWT tokens was not satisfactory. But OAuth is not great for services interacting with each other, it is more for a user to grant some service access to own data in another service, but the interviewer didn't mention such user-service interactions.

During the interview process, I encountered a range of questions that encompassed various aspects of the role and the company. A significant focus was placed on exploring my management style and assessing how well I would fit into the organization's culture. These questions allowed the interviewers to gain insights into my leadership approach, decision-making process, and ability to work collaboratively with others. I was asked to provide examples of my previous experiences in managing teams, resolving conflicts, and motivating individuals towards achieving common goals. The interviewers were particularly interested in understanding how I would adapt my management style to fit the unique dynamics of their organization and team.
