Good questions show you understand SRE and care about the role.
Team and culture:
- "What's your on-call rotation like? How many pages per shift?"
- "How do you balance reliability work with feature development?"
- "What's your post-mortem process?"
Technical environment:
- "What's your deployment frequency?"
- "What's your biggest reliability challenge right now?"
- "How do you set and track SLOs?"
Growth:
- "What does success look like in the first days?"
- "How do SREs collaborate with development teams?"
Avoid: Questions easily answered by the job posting or company website.
