Senior AI Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks.

The interview process was long and exhausting. I had a screening and then 4 technical interviews. But, they were very nice people overall and seemed genuinely interested in creating a good experience for the candidate.

However, from my perspective, they seemed to be focused on the wrong things and some of their interviewers' style is disingenuous and cold-faced.

Questions

On System Design Round:

Q: Design a real-time Canvas-like service where every user can pick a tile from a 1000x1000 tile board and paint it with a color, with the caveat that a user can perform only one mutation in a 5-minute window.
