Here’s a sample of what a one-day, end-to-end DevSecOps interview with all rounds merged might look like:
Kick-off & Introductions (15 min)
You meet with the hiring manager and HR partner for a quick welcome, overview of the agenda, and a brief pitch on the company’s culture and team structure.
Technical Deep-Dive: Infrastructure & Automation (45 min)
A senior DevOps engineer walks you through a live whiteboard exercise: design a CI/CD pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys a containerized app.
You’re asked to call out where and how you’d integrate security controls (static code analysis, dependency scanning, secrets management).
Hands-On Security Challenge (60 min)
You log into a sandbox environment and are presented with a deliberately misconfigured Kubernetes cluster or IaC template.
Your task: identify at least three vulnerabilities, remediate them on the spot, and explain your fixes.
