Platform Engineer Interview Questions

3,059 platform engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Required to give a 10 minute presentation on my fourth year project. (Without visual aids) This wasn't timed. There were 3 interviewers. One that specialised in my university subject, one that worked on similar projects to my fourth year project and a Mechanical engineer. All were friendly. Question ranged from use of metamaterials (my project), to ceramics and body armour, to general strengthening mechanisms in metals. There was also a few competencies questions- I answered these awfully but I was honest so I think they were relatively happy with that.

Tell me about a project you did or experience you have in AWS. (Better a big project, learning experience will not be counted.) How would you transit from other platform to AWS, if you are not using it in your current position. (HR is looking for technical aspect. Talk as much technical terms as possible. Talking about your effort of learning the new technique is a poor answer.)

Coding: Get some running code in a few different variations of a system that will take in data on upcoming events, and pick the best ones to send to a user in a summary email (eg. based on location, cost, etc). Systems Design: Build out a system that lets you compute these email notifications from the coding question and have them all be sent out at exactly noon each day. Behavioural: Half retrospective on a previous project you've done, half pitching a new security innovation you would implement if given the resources.
