Technical Coding System Design
This was a technical screen where we discussed a problem, focusing on the logic and complexity (aiming for O(n)) rather than just coding. We talked about REST principles, different request types, HTTP vs. HTTPS, and database indexing, including how to implement it and why inserts might be slow while searches are fast.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Talk about REST.
- What request types are there?
- What's http versus https?

Behavioral
Got an email invite the day after I applied. First up was a recruiter call, mostly standard stuff like company knowledge and my background. The recruiter was based in the US. Then I had a chat with the hiring manager. Both were super nice. The recruiter sent some 'Things to consider' tips before the second interview, but the hiring manager didn't really go over any of that. I put effort into explaining what they do (DNS) in my own words, but it wasn't brought up.

Behavioral Technical
I went through a multi-stage interview process. First, there was an initial screening with the internal recruiter. Then, I had a technical interview with some co-workers. Finally, I had a personality and fit interview with the hiring manager and their manager. They explained the process well and communicated effectively. But, after many hours of interviews, I got no feedback, only a generic reason why I didn't get the job. They need to improve this, it's a failure on their end.

Behavioral Technical Coding
The procedure was pretty standard. I had an HR interview for culture fit, and then two technical interviews. Their recruiter guided me through the whole process, responded pretty fast, and let me know the outcomes via phone call after each step, which was nice. The tech interviews were mostly about architecture and problem-solving. Since it's AI, they wanted to know how I solved some standard AI problems in my previous projects. We discussed AI history, hallucinations, overpromising, RAG similarity, RAG topics, and prompt sizes. There were also ML topics about encoder models, training, and fine-tuning.
Confirmed questions1 question
- What RAG similarity formulas are there, and which ones have you used? How do you store and retrieve RAG datasets?
