🔥 Preparation Tips
Performance Engineer: Practice designing a complete performance strategy. Be ready to explain workload models, concurrency, throughput, latency, bottleneck identification and how you communicate performance risks to engineering teams.
SDET: Don’t prepare only Selenium. Since Playwright + TypeScript and Java are explicitly requested, practice writing automation in both ecosystems and explain why you would choose one framework over another.
Technical Support: Practice troubleshooting from symptoms. Given a slow application or failed integration, explain how you would move from logs → database → API → network → infrastructure to isolate the root cause.
All Candidates: Learn Gurucul’s product domain. Understanding SIEM, UEBA, threat detection, security analytics and log ingestion can help you communicate more effectively during interviews.
📄 Resume Tips
Performance Engineers: Put performance tools, maximum concurrent users, TPS, response-time improvements, workload models and bottleneck-resolution achievements prominently on page one.
SDETs: Lead with Java + Selenium + Playwright/TypeScript + SQL. Include framework architecture, automation coverage, execution-time reduction and CI/CD achievements.
Technical Support Engineers: Highlight Linux, SQL, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, scripting, log analysis, APIs, integrations and production incident resolution. Quantify SLA performance, ticket resolution, uptime or troubleshooting improvements where possible.
