I was contacted by a recruiter and offered an interview at Zignal. Talking with him was great, and then I was interviewed by a manager. This is where it started to get a bit odd, and I was surprised that the manager had no tech experience outside of Zignal. All he asked was information on my past experience, and then he asked for a lot of advice on how to manage an elasticsearch cluster. It started to feel like he was looking for a free consultant as he didn't seem to know the answer to any of the questions he was asking me. I gave him advice on how to manage and scale it, and at the end of the call he made it very clear that I was not going to be offered another round. It was extremely unprofessional and made me feel like I had wasted my time. I'm not confident that there even is an available position open, as I answered all of his questions perfectly and was never put through a real technical interview. I'm an expert on Elasticsearch (their backend) and have been working in Devops for over a decade, so I have a hard time believing that they'll find someone more experienced than I am. I've also managed Elastic at a much larger scale than they're working with and I was a bit surprised how many problems they're having with it when their cluster is relatively small. Managing a cluster of that size should be very easy.
