Sample interview questions
How would you diagnose poor scaling efficiency in a multi-node GPU training cluster?

I would first establish a baseline for GPU utilization, step time, data-loading latency, network throughput, and storage IOPS. I would then isolate whether the bottleneck is caused by communication collectives, topology, CPU or memory contention, data pipeline throughput, or inefficient parallelization, and validate improvements through controlled benchmark runs.

How do you advise a customer choosing between GPU types and cluster configurations for training versus inference?

I begin with model size, precision requirements, latency and throughput targets, dataset characteristics, framework support, and budget constraints. For training, I prioritize memory capacity, interconnect bandwidth, and scalable distributed communication; for inference, I focus more on latency, batch behavior, model optimization, and cost per request.

Describe how you would manage a high-severity customer incident involving a GPU cluster outage.

I would establish ownership, assess customer impact, engage the appropriate SRE, networking, support, and engineering teams, and provide a clear communication cadence. After service restoration, I would lead a customer-facing review covering root cause, corrective actions, prevention measures, and any capacity or architecture changes needed to reduce recurrence.

What factors would you review when optimizing a distributed PyTorch workload?

I would review data-loader performance, batch size, mixed precision, gradient accumulation, checkpointing, GPU memory use, communication backend settings, node and GPU topology, and network fabric health. I would use profiling data to prioritize the largest bottleneck and measure the effect of each change on throughput, convergence, and cost.

How do you balance technical advocacy for a customer with account-growth objectives?

I build trust by recommending the architecture that best meets the customer's technical and economic goals, even when that means starting small. Once measurable value is established, I identify expansion opportunities such as additional capacity, storage, networking, or reservations that directly support the customer's roadmap.
