Sample Vetting Questions

Example questions at senior and principal level for Site Reliability Engineer, with what a strong answer covers. They show the depth TeamStation AI tests. They are not a real candidate interview.

Kubernetes

  1. Principal level, Mental Model. Pods are being killed with an out of memory status but the application shows plenty of heap. Explain the gap and how you size memory.

    A strong answer covers: Container limits versus application memory; Memory outside the heap; Requests, limits and quality of service classes; Measuring real use over time.

  2. Principal level, Mental Model. Some requests fail only during rolling deploys. Explain the path of a request and where it can be lost.

    A strong answer covers: Endpoints and readiness; Termination grace and pre stop timing; Connection draining at the load balancer; Client retries.

  3. Principal level, Cognitive Load. A node pool upgrade must happen with no downtime for 300 services. How do you plan it?

    A strong answer covers: Disruption budgets and spread; Order and surge; Stateful workloads; Rollback.

  4. Principal level, Accuracy. An auditor asks who can read secrets in production. How do you answer and tighten it?

    A strong answer covers: Roles and bindings; Service account permissions; Secret storage outside the cluster; Audit logs.

  5. Principal level, Mental Model. How do you structure configuration for 200 services across four environments?

    A strong answer covers: Base and overlays; Templates versus plain files; Drift detection; Ownership.

  6. Principal level, Accuracy. An AI assistant wrote a deployment manifest. What do you check first?

    A strong answer covers: Requests and limits; Probes; Security context; Rollout settings.

Terraform

  1. Principal level, Mental Model. Two engineers run an apply at the same time and the state is damaged. Explain what happened and how you design against it.

    A strong answer covers: Remote state and locking; What state holds and why it matters; Pipeline only applies; Recovery from backups.

  2. Principal level, Mental Model. How do you design modules so 40 teams can use them without breaking each other?

    A strong answer covers: Small clear inputs and outputs; Versioning and release notes; Tests; Ownership.

  3. Principal level, Cognitive Load. Design a pipeline that plans on every pull request and applies on merge for production.

    A strong answer covers: Plan output as review evidence; Approvals for risk; Concurrency control; Audit trail.

  4. Principal level, Accuracy. How do you design network and access for a new environment so that nothing is public by accident?

    A strong answer covers: Default deny; Private connectivity; Least privilege roles; Checks in the pipeline.

  5. Principal level, Cognitive Load. A bad apply took down a shared network. What are your first five actions?

    A strong answer covers: Stop further applies; Restore service first; Read the state and plan; Communicate what you know.

  6. Principal level, Accuracy. An AI assistant wrote infrastructure code. What do you check first?

    A strong answer covers: Security group and access scope; Destructive changes in the plan; Defaults and costs; Tests.

AWS

  1. Principal level, Mental Model. Design a service that survives the loss of one availability zone and one dependency. What fails, and what do users see?

    A strong answer covers: Multi zone placement; Health checks and failover time; State and data replication; Graceful degradation.

  2. Principal level, Accuracy. An access key is found in a public repository. What do you do in the first hour?

    A strong answer covers: Disable and rotate first; What the key could reach and what it did; Logs for misuse; Removing long lived keys.

  3. Principal level, Accuracy. Choose between a relational database, a key value store and object storage for three workloads and justify each.

    A strong answer covers: Access patterns; Consistency and transactions; Scale and cost; Operational burden.

  4. Principal level, Cognitive Load. The monthly bill rose 40 percent. How do you find out why in a day?

    A strong answer covers: Cost by service and tag; Usage change versus price change; Data transfer and idle resources; A fix and a guardrail.

  5. Principal level, Cognitive Load. A deploy broke one region. Give your first five actions.

    A strong answer covers: Stop the rollout; Compare regions; Roll back or hold and why; Communicate what you know.

  6. Principal level, Accuracy. An AI assistant wrote infrastructure and a policy. What do you check first?

    A strong answer covers: Wildcards in permissions; Public exposure; Costs; Tests.

The five Axiom Cortex axes, with one example each

  • Procedural Knowledge. Walk me through finding why a pod is pending. Looks for: Order of steps; What each step proves; What you do if events are empty.
  • Mental Model. Why does the state file matter as much as the code? Looks for: It records what exists; Plans compare code to state; Risks of losing or sharing it.
  • Accuracy. What does a multi zone design protect against, and what does it not? Looks for: Correct limits; Regional failures; Says when it is unsure.
  • Clarity. Explain to a product manager why a config change restarted all pods. Looks for: One cause named; One decision for the listener; Plain words.
  • Cognitive Load. An apply failed halfway on production, a partner is waiting and two teams blame each other. What do you do first, second and third? Looks for: A clear order; Facts kept apart from guesses; Stays correct as facts change.

Questions answered on this route

How does TeamStation AI validate Site Reliability Engineers in Brazil?

TeamStation AI maps Brazil market signals with Nebula AI, then Axiom Cortex checks reasoning, communication, role level, topology fit, and failure-mode reasoning, operational judgment, automation design.

What does topology fit mean for site reliability engineer roles?

Topology fit means the engineer is evaluated for the node they must occupy in the team: ownership boundary, system ability, communication path, review pressure, and AI-assisted workflow alignment.

Does TeamStation AI handle operations for Brazil Site Reliability Engineers?

Yes. TeamStation AI handles EOR, MDM-secured devices, onboarding, identity controls, IP assignment, compliance, and delivery visibility.
