DevOps and SRE interviews are unlike any other technical interview format. Interviewers expect you to reason through systems under failure — diagnosing MTTR regressions, redesigning on-call workflows, or architecting CI/CD pipelines from first principles. The DORA Four Keys framework, incident retrospectives, and infrastructure-as-code design are core competencies, not edge cases. Generic interview prep doesn't build these skills.
DevOps Interview gives you an AI coach that thinks like a senior SRE. It challenges you to decompose deployment failure rates, design rollback strategies under time pressure, and build observability architectures that scale. Every session ends with specific, actionable feedback tied to the exact competencies HashiCorp, Datadog, PagerDuty, GitHub, and top platform engineering teams evaluate in their interviews.
How it works
- Practice DevOps and SRE cases modeled on real interview questions from HashiCorp, Datadog, PagerDuty, and GitHub
- Get AI-powered feedback on your incident response design, DORA metrics analysis, and CI/CD architecture
- Build skills across infrastructure automation, observability, reliability engineering, and platform operations
- Track your progress across 20+ DevOps competencies with adaptive difficulty targeting your gaps
Why DevOps interviews need dedicated prep
Most software engineers underestimate how much DevOps and SRE interviews differ from standard coding rounds. Top-tier teams don't just want someone who can write Terraform — they want candidates who can diagnose configuration drift at scale, design self-healing infrastructure, and run blameless post-mortems that actually prevent recurrence. These skills require deliberate practice across the full operational lifecycle.
The AI coach pushes you to quantify your reasoning the way experienced SREs do: not "the service is slow" but "p99 latency is 820ms against a 360ms SLO, concentrated in the payment service after the Tuesday deploy." This level of specificity — pairing observability signals with hypothesis-driven root cause analysis — is what separates candidates who pass SRE loops from those who don't.
Built for aspiring DevOps and SRE professionals
Whether you're a software engineer transitioning into platform engineering, a sysadmin moving toward cloud-native infrastructure, or an SRE targeting senior roles at companies like HashiCorp, Datadog, or PagerDuty, DevOps Interview meets you where you are. The platform adapts to your current skill level across infrastructure automation, CI/CD optimization, observability design, incident management, and MLOps — and targets the exact competencies your target companies care about.
