I must say that there was a lot of confusion in terms of the position offered - either architect, or manager. Nobody knew for sure. Also, the description was somewhat vague, only referencing the knowledge requirements as "API Management, Relational and Non-relation DBs, Event Streaming, deployment and code management tools). I was surprised that in the beginning of the discussion. I asked what were the day to day activities - the answer was pointing to the Azure as a cloud solution, but then, it hit me. All the questions were pretty much related to Nessus, Nexus, OpenShift, Jenkins and a bit of K8s here and there. Nothing related to Azure. No design questions, no solution referencing the technicalities of the job. Also, no management-related questions either. Everything is so vague in terms of knowledge offered from their side. Also, to wrap the experience nicely, the recruiter acted like s*it, once again ghosting when being asked for feedback.

The one-to-one meeting started with a casual conversation, about myself, my background and what I do in Master's degree. Then I was given two test cases. The deprtment works on carrier systems (ICS) to desing efficient conveyors that handle raw baggage. I was also given some instructions about system's goal and a bluprint of that system. On the blueprint I had to explain on specific points what functionalities should exist, for example "this platform should wait until the next luggage comes" or "spot B should move right or left only". After this questions, I was not asked any other software question.
