X Interview Questions

X's new-grad MLE loop in 2026 adds one ML-specific round on top of the standard SWE coding/behavioral set. Expect questions on recommendation algorithms, feature engineering, online learning, and the production reality of ranking content for hundreds of millions of users. The role lives close to the For You timeline, Spotlight ranking, and ads relevance teams.

X's (formerly Twitter) new-grad SWE loop in 2026 is a recruiter screen, an online assessment, a technical phone screen, and a 4-round virtual onsite covering two coding rounds, system fundamentals, and behavioral. The org runs leaner than the pre-2022 Twitter era; engineers ship across the stack. Be ready for distributed-systems flavored questions even at new-grad level.

X's SWE intern loop in 2026 is a recruiter screen, one OA, and a 2-3 round virtual interview. Intern interviews emphasize data structures, algorithms, and one behavioral round. The intern program is leaner than the pre-2022 Twitter era — fewer headcount, higher ownership per intern.
