Has anyone gone through a problem solving interview for a Platform Engineer position? I'm curious about what the experience was like and what I should prepare for. Thanks!

In these interviews, they're really looking to see how you approach problem solving rather than just the final answer. It’s common to use the STAR technique—make sure you fully understand the problem and ask clarifying questions. Keep the focus on how you think it through, almost like you're chatting with a business user about their needs. It's important to be methodical and think aloud; they want to see your thought process.
I think showcasing your logical thinking is key. Technical details matter, but don't stress if you're not exactly technical on the first pass—your reasoning can impress them more.
