Sample interview questions
How would you design a multi-subscription Azure landing zone for an enterprise SaaS platform?

I would establish a management-group hierarchy aligned to environments and business domains, use separate subscriptions for workloads and shared services, and apply Azure Policy for guardrails. Centralized identity, logging, networking, and security services would be deployed through reusable Terraform or Pulumi modules, with clear ownership and least-privilege access controls.

Describe how you would define a cloud disaster-recovery strategy with strict RTO and RPO targets.

I would begin with workload criticality, dependency mapping, and explicit RTO/RPO requirements. I would then select appropriate replication, backup, failover, and data-consistency patterns; automate recovery where possible; and validate the design through recurring recovery exercises, documented runbooks, and measurable restoration results.

How do you balance platform standardization with engineering-team autonomy?

I provide paved-road solutions that make secure and compliant choices the easiest choices, such as self-service templates, opinionated modules, and automated policy checks. Teams retain flexibility for genuine exceptions, but exceptions should have a lightweight review process, clear ownership, and a plan to prevent unnecessary platform fragmentation.

What practices would you use to secure Kubernetes workloads running across Azure and AWS?

I would apply workload identity, least-privilege RBAC, network segmentation, image scanning and signing, secrets management, admission controls, and continuous audit logging. I would also standardize cluster baselines, patching, observability, and policy-as-code so security controls remain consistent across clouds.

Give an example of how you would improve the internal developer experience through platform engineering.

I would identify high-friction workflows, such as provisioning a compliant service environment, and replace manual ticket-based work with a self-service workflow. This could include a versioned infrastructure template, automated CI/CD validation, default monitoring and security integrations, and clear documentation, while tracking adoption time and deployment reliability as success metrics.
