Interview
The interview process involved a simple CV task followed by a technical round. I was asked 3 questions in the technical round, they were math based questions, 2 involving probability and 1 geometry.
A total of 3 technical interviews - 2 with engineers from the Perception team and one with the CEO. This was followed by an hour-long discussion with the other co-founder who focuses on product.
One of the smoothest and quickest loops I've had - the HR coordinating the interviews was super responsive and the interviewers were really smart & fun to talk to. Got an offer within a week of my first interview so you get a taste of how fast the company moves.

Question 1
First round was Probability + Algorithms. Second was Probability + ML + some hands-on PyTorch. The questions were not generic off-the-shelf but really fun to solve and discuss.
