Likely interview questions
- Tell us about a time you owned an end-to-end AI or ML system in production. How did you debug when the model behavior wasn't what you expected?
- Walk us through a discovery process where you identified a real bottleneck for a customer and defined success metrics. What did you learn that surprised you?
