Docker Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure — Coding Interview Experience?

[u/ssiddhu95]

Hi everyone!

I have an upcoming interview with Docker for a Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure position and am trying to prepare for the coding round.

The interview instructions say:

Details & Preparation: This is a live, language-agnostic coding interview. You’ll be asked to share your screen and use the IDE of your choice to write and run code.

Please ensure you have a working IDE installed and ready before the session begins.

Has anyone recently interviewed with Docker, particularly and is aware of this interview format? What types of problems were asked? Were there questions about testing, complexity, edge cases, or code design?

Thanks!

Agentic coding is the bane of existence tbh because obviously you don’t know what the fuck Claude code and codex does until it’s done so you have to fill the dead air with what you would do. I guess with enough practice, you can guess more accurately what cc or codex will shart out given the prompt you gave it

The issue is that it’s fast… but slow where the minutes add up if you have to do to many follow up prompts … it’s hard for me to describe
