I applied in-person. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at scythe robotics (Longmont, CO) in Apr 2025
Interview
The process began with an initial interview with one of the team members. It was an introductory session where I talked about my background, and they gave a clear overview of the role and the kind of work I’d be doing. After the the call, I was emailed a take-home assignment.
The take-home was demanding but fair, something any DevOps engineer should be comfortable tackling. It focused on practical skills and real-world problem solving.
Next was a one-on-one interview with the person I’d be reporting to. This stage went deeper into my experience, work style, and how I approach challenges.
The final stage was a two-hour on-site interview with eight engineers, done in four 30-minute sessions (two engineers per session). These were the people I’d be working closely with. They asked in-depth DevOps questions based on real issues they’ve dealt with in their environment, so it felt very relevant and technical—less textbook, more applied.
