Process
I applied online. The process took 5 months.
Applied directly at NVIDIA. No recruiters. Workday is used for scheduling.
- 9 interviews in 4 months
- Ghosted for 45 days after final panel
- Questions from all areas of ML/DL/AI/Software
Salary was EUR 100K + EUR 40K bonus and stocks for Germany. Denied the offer. Considering their net-profit and market cap this is a joke.
Questions
Implement topo-sort in Python. Implement inference-loop in PyTorch.
- What is KV-Cache?
- What is Flash-Attention?
- How do TRT-LLM and vLLM work?
- What is Quantization?
- What is QAT and QAD?
