Task 1: You are given a string S of length N which encodes a non-negative number V in a binary form. Two types of operations may be performed on it to modify its value: if V is odd, subtract 1 from it; if V is even, divide it by 2; These operations are performed until the value of V becomes 0. Example 1: S = "011100", its value V initially is 28. The value of V would changes as follows: V = 28 V = 14 V = 7 V = 6 V = 3 V = 2 V = 1 the function should return 7. Example 2: S = "111", should return 5.

Questions in some depth about the technologies you use in this role and how you understand they should be used, such as branching strategies in version control, what makes up Continuous Integration, etc. Some scripting questions, as automating processes using scripts is a major part of the role. Be prepared to analyse a test question on your feet at a white board; they will probably be easy about what language, it's the thinking process they want to know about.
