DONE Give Feedback on Roopa
Roopas didn't seem like the strongest candidate to me.
During the short-form questions, she understood conceptually the JWT and authentication vs authorization. She hasn't worked with K8s. With a little guidance she did seem to understand what a container was. At first the explanation was a "virtualenv".
My read on the answers were that the information she communicated was decent surface level knowledge but when drilling down a bit further, the understanding broke down quickly.
With respect to the long-form questions, she did much better. I liked her answers for how she had improved the microservices in her previous job. She had implemented a caching layer to keep data local within their services as opposed to always hitting Salesforce. I would say that her process for identitifying the issue was a bit lacking, but she did provide results, so it worked out. The strategy to diagnose the problem was more of seeing errors in logs and then looking at the fix, but given that they didn't have much in terms of o11y, I think that's the best she could have done.
She hadn't really known what we did, and wasn't able to make it very far in guessing how provisioning would work. Given that she hasn't worked in the space, I would expect her to think about what could possibly go into this, but she didn't get far without Sarah leading her through it.
Overall, I think that she's not fit for the senior position.
