### Sample Interview Questions

Can you describe a GenAI application you built and productionized? What challenges did you face?I built a RAG-based customer support chatbot using LangChain and deployed it on AWS. Challenges included latency optimization, handling diverse query formats, and ensuring data privacy. I addressed these by implementing caching, fine-tuning the retriever, and using encrypted storage.How do you evaluate and improve the performance of a GenAI model in production?I use a combination of automated metrics like BLEU and ROUGE, along with human evaluation. I also monitor drift and user feedback to iteratively fine-tune the model or adjust the prompt engineering.Explain your experience with multi-agent systems in AI. Give an example.I worked on a multi-agent system for automated code review, where agents specialized in different aspects like syntax, security, and performance. They collaborated via a shared memory and a coordinator agent to produce comprehensive reviews.How do you handle customer objections or technical limitations when implementing AI solutions?I listen to their concerns, explain trade-offs clearly, and propose alternative approaches. For example, when a customer wanted real-time inference but had latency constraints, I suggested a hybrid model with offline batch processing for non-critical tasks.Describe a time you had to teach a non-technical stakeholder about a complex AI concept.I once explained the concept of embeddings to a marketing team by using an analogy of a map where similar items are close together. I then demonstrated with a simple visualization to show how we cluster customer segments.  AI Engineer – FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer) (ALL LEVELS)
