Technical practice
Designing AI Agents and Workflows
What to coverExplain your approach to architecting AI agents that automate complex business workflows. Focus on how you ensure reliability, handle state management, and integrate these agents into existing enterprise systems.
AI Model Performance Evaluation
What to coverDescribe the metrics you prioritize when evaluating the performance of an AI product. Discuss the trade-offs between technical accuracy metrics and business-centric KPIs like user satisfaction or operational efficiency.
Implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
What to coverDiscuss the challenges of implementing RAG in a production environment. Address how you manage data retrieval latency, context window limitations, and the accuracy of the generated responses.
Managing the AI Product Lifecycle
What to coverHow does the lifecycle of an AI-driven product differ from traditional software? Focus on the iterative nature of model training, data drift monitoring, and the continuous feedback loops required for improvement.
Communicating AI Concepts to Stakeholders
What to coverProvide a strategy for explaining complex AI model behaviors or limitations to non-technical stakeholders. Suggestion: Focus on translating technical risks into business impact and managing expectations regarding model uncertainty.
Addressing Ethical Considerations in AI
What to coverHow do you identify and mitigate ethical risks such as bias or data privacy concerns during the product development process? Explain how you integrate these checks into your standard agile development cycle.
Applying MLOps Principles
What to coverDescribe how you ensure the scalability and maintainability of AI solutions. Discuss the importance of CI/CD pipelines for models and how you handle versioning for both data and model artifacts.
Leveraging LLMs for Product Features
What to coverWhen deciding to integrate Large Language Models into a product, what criteria do you use to evaluate cost, latency, and performance? Suggestion: Discuss the trade-offs between using proprietary APIs versus open-source models.
Behavioural practice
Leading Cross-Functional Alignment
What to coverDescribe a situation where you had to align data scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders on a conflicting product goal. Explain the steps you took to reach a consensus and the final outcome.
Problem Solving as an SME
What to coverGive an example of a time you identified a significant technical or process-related problem independently. Detail the actions you took to resolve it and how you shared your findings to improve team expertise.
Adapting to User Feedback
What to coverShare an experience where user feedback or performance data indicated that an AI model was not meeting expectations. Describe how you adjusted the product strategy or model parameters to address the issue.
Managing Change in AI Projects
What to coverDescribe a project where you had to manage significant organizational change due to the introduction of new AI technology. How did you handle resistance and ensure the team remained productive?
