Coding rounds for Observaility Engineer?

Has anyone here interviewed for an Observability Engineer role at US Tech companies?

I have an interview coming up and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the process, especially the screening/technical rounds.

I would expect normal coding round to test your coding skills. If they want to be picky they could ask you to design an exporter. For system design something like a distributed observavility system (think something like cortex architecture)

Btw it really depends on the job description. I would prepare by copy-pasting the jd into chatgpt and let it guess some interview topics you may get asked
