Sample interview questionsDescribe a production ML system you owned from initial problem framing through deployment.I would explain the business objective and success metrics, how I defined labels and features, selected a baseline, evaluated offline performance, and launched the model behind a controlled experiment. I would also describe the serving architecture, monitoring for latency and drift, and the iteration process based on online outcomes.

How would you improve a feed-ranking model when offline metrics improve but user engagement does not?

I would first validate logging, experiment assignment, and metric definitions. Then I would investigate objective mismatch, selection bias, feature freshness, calibration, and segment-level effects, and test alternative objectives that better represent long-term user value rather than optimizing a narrow offline proxy.

What practices do you use to make ML pipelines reliable and reproducible?

I use versioned data and features, deterministic training configurations where possible, automated validation checks, model and experiment tracking, CI/CD, and clear rollback procedures. I also monitor pipeline health, data quality, training-serving skew, model performance, and infrastructure latency after release.

How would you approach serving a low-latency model for a high-traffic recommendation system?

I would establish latency and throughput budgets, separate offline candidate generation from online ranking, and use efficient feature retrieval and caching. Depending on model complexity, I would consider model compression, batching, optimized runtimes, fallback behavior, and continuous measurement of p50, p95, and p99 latency alongside relevance metrics.

How do you evaluate whether an LLM-powered product feature is ready for production?

I would define task-specific quality, safety, latency, and cost metrics; build a representative evaluation set; and combine automated evaluation with targeted human review. I would launch gradually with guardrails, logging, red-team cases, and monitoring for regressions, harmful outputs, and changes in user behavior.
