      Cloud Systems Engineer Interview

      18 Jan 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Seattle, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Branch (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2019

      Interview

      Had three phone screens with a recruiting coordinator, my future immediate supervisor, and his director, followed by a 4 hour onsite loop in the Seattle office. The majority of the team is located out of Redwood City, CA, so the technical interviews took place via Zoom with screen sharing software. Branch uses in-house recruiters to handle the interview process, and it was overall one of the better interview experiences I had. Additionally, I had some issues pop up at my current employment which caused me to miss my initially scheduled interview, and the entire team was very understanding and flexible in their time. The overall interview process was very informal, and when I struggled with a couple coding questions they were very quick to ask a little more pointed questions that were more specific to my particular background.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      How would you design a kubernetes cluster around a Java based HTTP API with an underlying JVM and DropWizard REST API, and how would you manage dependencies.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      The service you've set up in the last question has been running for 3 months, you're on-call, how do you handle an alert that a developer's service is down?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      How would you troubleshoot an application container that is having difficulty?
      Answer question

      Question 4

      What is the coolest project you worked on? What about the hardest?
      Answer question
