I have an upcoming on-site with Intuit’s SRE org at their San Diego offices. The recruiter mentioned that I would need to complete an adsignment prior to the on-site interview and the first hour of the on-site is to present the assignment to the team. I am looking to get an idea of what kind of assignement might it be.
Not specific to Intuit but here's an example of a pre interview assignment I was given before i would have had to present my solution at an onsite Write a Dockerfile to run xxxxx in a container. It should verify the checksum of the downloaded release (container is already built), run as a normal user, and when run without any modifiers (i.e. docker run xxxxxxxx) should run the daemon and print output to console. The build should be security conscious. Write a K8 StatefulSet to run the above, using persistent volume claims and resource limits. Write a Nomad job to run the above, use volume mounts and resource limits. Write a simple build and deploy pipeline for the above using groovy / Jenkins file, Travis C I or Gitlab C I. Source or come up with a text manipulation problem and solve it with at least two: awk, sed, tr and / or grep. Solve the same problem using any programming language you want
Thank you very much for the example.
Yeah, that’s the process here. Also, you would be drilled on the approach/solution you present. Ensure you have a working solution to begin with. We have previously turned down many folks who didn’t have a working solution.
That is generally the interview process for an on-site. You will get the project a week in advance. As far as the SRE role, what team?
I am not sure which team. I am only informed about the group
