Technical practice
How would you design a generative AI application around an LLM?
What to coverThe role involves designing and developing LLM-based applications. Suggested preparation: Explain how you would define the task, structure prompts and application logic, and test whether outputs meet the use case.
When would you use one agent rather than a multi-agent workflow?
What to coverThe posting names autonomous agents, multi-agent workflows, reasoning and task orchestration. Suggested preparation: Compare coordination complexity, reliability and the value of splitting a task among agents.
How would you design tool calling for an agent?
What to coverTool calling and security are both part of the stated work. Suggested preparation: Discuss how an agent chooses and invokes tools, handles failures, and limits access to actions or data.
How would you integrate an AI capability into an enterprise workflow?
What to coverThe role involves enterprise applications, data, APIs, knowledge sources and enterprise systems. Suggested preparation: Walk through interfaces, data flow, error handling and how you would fit the capability into an existing workflow.
When would retrieval-augmented generation improve an LLM application?
What to coverRAG, embeddings, vector databases and AI-powered search are listed as good to have. Suggested preparation: Explain retrieval and generation stages, when external knowledge helps, and how you would check whether retrieved material is relevant.
How would you choose an LLM platform or model for an application?
What to coverThe posting mentions exposure to LLM platforms, AI APIs, cloud AI services or open-source models. Suggested preparation: Compare options against the use case's quality, integration, performance and security needs without assuming a particular provider.
What would you consider when taking an AI application into production?
What to coverThe role calls for scalable, production-ready architecture and deployment experience. Suggested preparation: Describe how you would assess performance, reliability and security together, including trade-offs when demand grows.
How would you evaluate whether a model change improved an AI application?
What to coverEvaluating models and improving accuracy, relevance and performance are explicit responsibilities. Suggested preparation: Explain how you would select representative tasks, compare results and check that gains in one measure do not mask regressions in another.
How would you troubleshoot a decline in response relevance?
What to coverThe posting calls for continuous improvement of relevance and strong analytical problem-solving. Suggested preparation: Describe how you would isolate possible causes in inputs, prompts, knowledge sources or the model, then verify a fix against examples.
How would you structure a Python-based AI service?
What to coverPython, AI/ML frameworks, APIs and microservices appear in the preferred experience. Suggested preparation: Outline the boundaries between AI logic and application interfaces, and explain how that structure supports testing and maintenance.
Behavioural practice
Tell me about a time you turned an ambiguous use case into a technical plan.
What to coverThe role involves translating use cases into AI solutions with product, engineering and business teams. Suggested practice: Give the situation, how you clarified the need and chose a direction, and the result.
Describe a time you resolved a disagreement across technical and business stakeholders.
What to coverCross-functional collaboration is an explicit responsibility. Suggested practice: Explain the situation, how you surfaced trade-offs and reached a decision, and what resulted.
Tell me about a difficult problem you diagnosed in an application you built.
What to coverThe posting emphasizes complex AI use cases, analytical problem-solving and reliability. Suggested practice: Describe the situation, your diagnostic actions and the outcome, distinguishing evidence from initial assumptions.
Describe a time evaluation results led you to revise a solution.
What to coverThe role includes evaluating models and improving accuracy, relevance and performance. Suggested practice: State the situation, what the results showed, what you changed and the result.
Tell me about a time you balanced delivery speed with production quality.
What to coverThe posting calls for production-ready AI applications with attention to performance, reliability and security. Suggested practice: Describe the situation, the trade-off you made, how you communicated it and the result.
