Senior ML Platform Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
Calls with recruiter (external & internal), chat with the hiring manager. Paired programming and system design.
The paired programming felt okay, there was a warm-up question and then improve the code for an ML API.
The system design felt a bit specific and the topic plus the structure (given user stories) felt quite difficult to work with.
Overall seemed like a pretty great company, they were quite friendly throughout the process. Next stage would have been cultural interview.
