Do they offer remote options? I am a seasoned DevOps Engineer but prefer working fully remote.

Just interviewed with them last week. They have flexible hybrid remote options depending on what makes the most sense for the team and role. I'd apply if I were you.

Is Kubernetes something they use at CompanyX? I'd love to specialize further with a company using the latest tech.

@codewiz90, they sure do. I was impressed with how they'd adopted containerization and automation practices throughout their environments. I've got a strong feeling you'll be interested in their work.

I'm curious to know - what's their interview process like for a DevOps Engineer role?

Thanks for the question @startuplover79. Generally, their interview process consists of a phone screen followed by a technical assessment and finally a team/culture fit round of interviews.

From my personal experience, they focus on ensuring you have hands-on experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and container orchestration tools.

@JDHacks are they open to mid-career professionals with around 5 years of experience? I'm eager to learn more about DevOps.

Absolutely! I highly recommend learning more about Kubernetes with GCP or AWS prior to applying. They're keen on building well-balanced DevOps teams. Good luck!

What monitoring and observability tools do CompanyX DevOps teams usually work with?

@automationwarrior they employ Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring, tracing and logging aspects in their observability strategy.

CompanyX's release cycle seems interesting. Anyone know if they work on a two-week sprint-based or continuous integration model?

@srekingnow, they follow continuous integration with continuous delivery. They've mentioned interest in moving towards GitOps with Flagger for progressive delivery and automated canary releases.
