ProServe has different specialities - security, DevOps, mainframe migration, call centers (AWS Connect), ops, migrations etc.
Not all of the specialties require coding. Mine happens to be “application modernization”. Which really means that I had no specialty and that I could meld application development/architecture with cloud technology and jump into anything if needed on a high level and bring in specialists when needed.
There are some areas of AWS where I was really good and one specific niche where I’m objectively the best in the industry when it comes to automating a very complicated service - I worked with the service team to beta test the APIs and I did and open sourced the reference implementation around it.
My interview process was all behavioral. The “system design” portion was my walking through real world implementations I did and explaining choices and tradeoffs. Heck one of the interviews I spent the entire time discussing an earlier Hashicorp Nomad/Consul and Mongo based Master Data Model project that had nothing to do with AWS.
