Recruiter screen followed by technical interview. Technical interview was not at all as described by recruiter. I was told to prepare for AI/ML fundamentals but was asked to do a deep dive on LLM infrastructure and training from scratch.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe the encoder, decoder, and encoder/decoder architectures
Lots of ml questions around current state if the art. Llm architecture and training fine tuning more around statistics and computer science fundamentals and math such as linear algebra and probability also explain experience via leadership principles causal in the beginning then more involved with questions about the role in the end friendly encouraging interaction would recommend
Begins with an introductory meeting with the hiring manager, discuss background and experience. This is followed by a coding interview with algorithmic challenges. Next, many behavioral questions focused on leadership principles. Then, a system design interview to architect scalable and maintainable systems. Additionally, ML concepts, algorithms, and practical applications.
