This guide is based on general FAANG interview practices and may not reflect specific company procedures.
FAANG companies typically conduct 5-7 interview rounds for Junior DevOps Engineer positions. The process is designed to assess foundational technical competency in DevOps tools and infrastructure, problem-solving ability, hands-on experience with CI/CD and containerization, and cultural fit. Junior-level candidates are expected to demonstrate solid fundamentals and the ability to work independently on well-defined tasks with occasional guidance, rather than ownership of large projects or system architecture decisions.
