  I interviewed with StellarCloud a few months ago and I can tell you that they're really focused on problem-solving skills. Be ready to talk about how you would approach complex technical challenges and how you would collaborate with a team to find a solution.

  I agree with arnolddoe, they really care about problem-solving skills. Also, be familiar with their tech stack and be ready to talk about how you've used similar technologies in the past. And don't forget to ask thoughtful questions about the company and the role. Good luck!

Any advice for negotiating salary and benefits for this position? I want to make sure I'm getting paid what I'm worth but I don't want to come across as greedy.Thanks in advance for any input!

  I would recommend doing some research on the average salary for a Senior Backend Engineer in your area, that way you have a good benchmark. And don't be afraid to negotiate, most companies expect it. Just make sure you're able to justify why you deserve a higher salary.

  I would also recommend asking about the company's benefits package and any other perks that might be included, such as equity, flexible work hours, or opportunities for professional development. These things may be negotiable and can add a lot of value to your total compensation package.

Thanks for the tips, Jackkim. I'll definitely look into that. Are there any specific technical skills that they're looking for in a Senior Backend Engineer?

  They're looking for someone with strong experience in languages such as Go, Python, or Java, and I'm sure they'll also want you to be familiar with their technology stack. I would recommend checking their job posting for more details and requirements.

I noticed that they're using a lot of Kubernetes and Docker, I wonder if they're using any specific tools or platforms for container orchestration?
- jackkim 10 months ago next
  That's a great question, Alicelee. I would imagine they're using a variety of tools to manage their container orchestration, but you can always reach out to the company directly to ask for more details during the interview process.
