Process
Initial screen for an engineering position on an ML team, asking about my experience and trying to determine if I was a good fit for the position.
There were some technical moments, and questions about specific projects.
The interviewer was pretty blunt about the requirements of the position, and it didn't really feel like a good fit.
Questions
Can you tell me about a project in which you had to deal directly with the GPU to optimize ML inference?
