Platform Engineers Needed to Review a Job Simulation Test

Hey there! We're developing a new pre-employment job simulation and need real platform and DevOps engineers to review the materials for technical accuracy and realism, so we can be confident the simulation holds up to expert scrutiny before it goes live. This is a short, remote project, about three hours of work in total. You'll review the simulation across three stages and give us written feedback on whether the incident scenario rings true and whether what we're scoring actually separates strong engineers from weak ones. What you'll do - Confirm the skills and behaviors we target are right for a senior platform or DevOps role, and that the incident scenario is realistic - Review the simulation script, the incident briefing exhibit (system metrics table and log output), the follow up probes and the engineering manager persona for authenticity and difficulty - Review the draft scoring anchors and tell us whether they reflect real performance differences at senior level, adjusting or adding criteria from your own experience What we're looking for - 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Platform Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer or DevOps Engineer - Hands-on Kubernetes and container orchestration in production, not just familiarity - Personal experience responding to incidents involving OOMKill events, container restarts or connection pool exhaustion, ideally while on call - Comfortable with observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana or Datadog, and scripting in Python or Bash - A strong eye for detail and a solid command of English - Prior experience reviewing assessment or interview content is a plus, not a must We estimate about 3 hours of focused work across the three stages. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!
