Interview
The role System Development Engineer is essentially a rebranded version of the traditional System Administrator position used previously at Google. The interview style felt similar to the Production Engineer (PE) interviews at Meta. The discussion focused on system design and Linux fundamentals, with the interviewer asking follow-up questions to go deeper into implementation details.
