I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Aiven
Interview
1. Talk with HR.
2. Talk with the hiring manager.
3. Homework: Code assignment using Aiven (python web monitoring tool using Apache Kafka messaging), setup online repository, database structure, producer/consumer scripts. Search: "aiven kafka monitoring .site:.github.com"
4. Screen sharing/debugging a Linux EC2 instance with a high CPU load. There was a python script running as a SystemD service (journalctl was showing error messages). There was a broken network connection and unlimited Queue, so it was getting killed by memory protection.
