Recently passed HC. I was interviewing in applications track, however recruiter gave me 3 types of teams to match, in her original words: product development, internal platform/tool, or infrastructure. Does that mean I can actually choose infra teams like data infra, Kafka, etc.? What do these terms mean exactly? Appreciate anyone from LinkedIn (or not) to give insights. Thank you! Current TC: 160k.
If you didn’t interview in the Systems and Infra track I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be working on Kafka. Dunno 🤷♂️
I see. Maybe the recruiter has different interpretations of infrastructure... thanks for the input.
Yeah, they meant apps teams that work more on the back end not our data infra teams like Kafka- that requires a completely different interview
Agreed. Certain products have an infra and tools layer that’s built on top of other infra and tools that are optimized for that specific product.
Thanks guys, this makes sense.
OP - how many days did it take for your team match?
I finished two matches within a calendar week.
Hey Linkedin folks, Can you help me understand the work done by the "Streams" team - "putting LinkedIn Kafka on Azure and scaling their existing technology to serve LinkedIn 3.0" as mentioned in https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/1445120498/. Is it lifting and shifting Kafka running on DataCenters to Azure? How will this be different from the "Azure Kafka" managed service offering or the likes of Confluent's offering?
