Interviewing candidates is an opportunity to get to know who they are and what they can do. When making a DevOps or site reliability engineer (SRE) hire, you certainly want to ask questions about their technical aptitude. But DevOps cultures require more than hard skills — soft skills matter as well, so your interview questions should address both. As a specialist recruiter for these roles, I’ve been on the other end of the interview for years. In that time, I’ve learned a lot about the types of questions (and the answers received) that lead to long-term satisfaction for employers and applicants.
