Foundry.ai interview questions

Was approached by founding partner, had informal informational coffee. Following this I formally applied and entered onsite interviews. Five interviews: three with technical staff, two with founding partners. Overall was a mix of coding, problem solving, statistics, data science and business intuition. Covered statistics, ML, deep dive on how to optimise a particular model type, why that mathematically works, and real-world problems that it would / would not be suited for; database design and how I would think through making a profit from an ML-powered app. Lots of leaning in on technical solutions and exploring the real-world impact of proposed solutions. Partner interviews were case studies and talking through my background + future goals.

Screening call and technical interview then half a day on site. Questions ranged from high school trigonometry and statistics to economics case studies. Found it concerning that no women who seemed to work there.
