Junior DevOps / CI‑CD Engineer

HARMAN typically conducts a three‑stage interview process: an online aptitude test, a technical interview focusing on CI/CD tools, Docker/Kubernetes basics, and scripting, followed by an HR round that evaluates cultural fit and communication skills. The difficulty is moderate; candidates should be comfortable explaining pipeline concepts and solving basic Linux commands.

HARMAN Automotive fosters an inclusive, innovation‑driven environment where engineers are encouraged to experiment and learn. The company emphasizes work‑life balance with flexible timings and provides clear growth pathways through mentorship and regular skill‑upgradation programs.

Graduates with a B.E/B.Tech or B.Sc in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, or related fields. Minimum 60% aggregate (or CGPA 6.5/10). Freshers with 0-1 year of experience, internships, or academic projects in DevOps, Cloud, or related domains. No active backlogs at the time of joining. Batch year up to 2026 is preferred.

Round 1: Online aptitude test (logical reasoning, quantitative, verbal) → Round 2: Technical interview (CI/CD concepts, Docker/Kubernetes, scripting, problem solving) → Round 3: HR interview (fitment, communication, career goals)
