That's a great point! I've got a few projects here and there, but I think I will work on showcasing my familiarity with containerization and infrastructure-as-code to make a strong impression.

Definitely! I think a Senior DevOps Engineer needs to be cross-functional these days. Knowledge of both programming languages such as Python, Ruby, and JavaScript, as well as a firm grasp on infrastructure would set you up for success.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, would you be overseeing documentation as well? In a fast-paced startup, proper documentation can become an afterthought. But it can be a crucial aspect of a company's success.

You make an excellent point! In addition to managing technical infrastructure, I think a Senior DevOps Engineer should prioritize maintaining up-to-date documentation and knowledge sharing within the team.

I hope that security is at the forefront of ExampleCo's priorities. Security needs to be continuously addressed as part of a DevOps engineer's role.

I couldn't agree more! Implementing security best practices, periodic security audits, and staying informed on cyberthreats are integral for every tech role, including DevOps.

Do they host coding interviews for this role? If so, any coding exercises or platforms that candidates should practice, or should you just emphasize the infrastructure-related challenges?

For DevOps positions, you'll likely face both infrastructure challenges and coding questions. It's essential to practice coding, data structures, and algorithms since you'll still need an understanding of fundamental programming concepts.
