Junior engineer attending a senior engineering interview.
So the company I work for is interviewing for a senior engineer, DevOps position. I was requested to participate in the last interview. I realize, among many things, personality and group cohesiveness are a contributing factor when considering a new employee. With this in mind I only asked non-technical questions. Considering the position we are currently hiring for will have FAR more responsibilities and will require a much more integral understanding DevOps and engineering than my own I would have expected the interview to be a bit more on the technical side. Then again, maybe the candidates credentials have FAR more weight and when interviewing for such a position it is more common to ask non-technical questions?
Well, I have been invited to another interview tomorrow of another candidate. Perhaps some of you who have been working in the DevOps and engineering field for awhile now might have some advice for me? Would it be presumptuous or arrogant for me to ask someone so much more my senior technical questions? At this point, based on the lack of feedback I received, I am going to stick with my previous mentality and ask non-technical questions.
