The interview process was the 1st one with a technical marketing team manager and a engineering team manager, and the 2nd with a Marketing Director. If you get passed, the final interview is with HR manager.

The interview process involves 2 rounds. Round 1 is a Technical round focused on GenAI. It checks your hands-on GenAI knowledge and problem-solving skills with questions on LLM basics, prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning vs inference, your past real-world GenAI use cases, and coding/logic/architecture discussions. Round 2 is a Managerial + Technical round. It's a mix of behavioral and technical discussion to evaluate communication, leadership, and how you apply technical skills in real work. You might be asked about past projects, decision-making, team collaboration, handling challenges/deadlines/ambiguity, and explaining technical concepts to non-technical people. There may also be deeper or scenario-based technical questions.
