About this role.
This is a senior-level DevOps and cloud infrastructure leadership role supporting Truckstop's SaaS freight platform. The engineer will design and automate resilient cloud environments, with a primary focus on Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure/AWS, CI/CD, monitoring, security automation, and incident response. The role partners closely with architecture, platform, network, security, and software engineering teams to improve reliability and development velocity. It requires 8–10 years of experience, strong hands-on operational expertise, and the ability to resolve complex production issues with minimal escalation. After-hours alert response and technical leadership responsibilities are part of the position.

Sample interview questions
I structure Terraform into reusable modules, manage state securely with remote backends and locking, and use pull-request reviews plus automated plan/apply workflows. I also apply policy checks and environment-specific variables so infrastructure changes are repeatable, auditable, and aligned with security standards.
I would begin with service-level objectives, workload criticality, and failure-mode analysis. Key improvements would include multi-zone architecture, right-sized requests and limits, autoscaling, health probes, controlled rollout strategies, tested backups and recovery, centralized observability, and regular resilience testing.
I first stabilize customer impact through clear incident ownership, rapid triage, and safe mitigation such as rollback, scaling, or traffic controls. I maintain concise stakeholder communication throughout, then lead a blameless root-cause analysis that produces prioritized corrective actions, owners, and validation criteria.
I build security into delivery pipelines rather than relying on manual gates. This includes least-privilege IAM, secrets management, infrastructure and container scanning, policy-as-code, immutable deployment practices, audit logging, and automated remediation for common configuration drift.
I would track availability and SLO attainment, latency, error rates, saturation, mean time to detect and recover, deployment frequency, change failure rate, incident recurrence, capacity trends, and cost efficiency. I would present these metrics in actionable dashboards tied to customer impact and engineering priorities.
