Principal Solutions AI Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
Initial call with the internal recruiter, technical CV screen with hiring manager, coding interview, on-site with 4 interviews: ML, coding, PM and team fit. Then there is this extra call with an SVP, which is also a sort of a CV scan.
Questions
Both a deep dive into your past projects and higher-level generic ML questions. Also, easy/medium LeetCode-type coding problems.
