Parium helps engineering teams hire Data Center, infrastructure engineers, SREs, and DevOps professionals who can actually handle production incidents.
Traditional technical assessments test algorithm knowledge and coding puzzles - skills that rarely predict on-call performance. Parium takes a different approach: candidates troubleshoot realistic incidents in real terminal environments, just like they would on the job.
How it works:
• Candidates receive an incident alert (e.g., "GPU cluster down", "API latency spike")
• They SSH into a realistic environment with real tools (not a sandbox or simulation)
• They have 20-30 minutes to diagnose and resolve the issue
• Hiring managers receive detailed reports showing exactly how candidates approached the problem
Key benefits:
• See real skills: Watch candidates debug, not recite textbook answers
• Save time: 20-minute assessments vs. hours of interviews
• Reduce mis-hires: Test incident response before they're on your on-call rotation
• Fair assessment: Tests practical skills regardless of background or pedigree
Built for:
• Engineering managers hiring SREs, DevOps, Platform Engineers
• Startups scaling infrastructure teams
• Enterprises modernizing technical hiring
Scenarios include:
GPU/ML infrastructure issues, Kubernetes debugging, Docker troubleshooting, Linux performance problems, and more.
