Sample interview questionsHow would you define success for a feed ecosystem that must balance engagement, discovery, and community health?I would establish a metric hierarchy that includes relevance and engagement alongside retention, contribution quality, creator or community distribution, negative-feedback signals, and safety indicators. I would use guardrails and long-term experiments to ensure local ranking gains do not harm ecosystem health.

Describe your approach to improving recommendations for logged-out or low-signal users.

I would combine contextual features, content and community embeddings, geographic or language signals where appropriate, popularity adjusted for quality, and exploration mechanisms. I would measure performance separately for low-signal cohorts and progressively personalize as reliable behavioral signals emerge.

How do you lead an ML team through an ambiguous technical roadmap?

I translate company outcomes into clear problem statements, identify the highest-leverage bets and dependencies, and define measurable milestones. I communicate trade-offs early, keep the roadmap adaptable to experiment results, and give team members ownership of well-scoped technical decisions.

What safeguards would you apply when deploying a new feed-ranking model?

I would require offline evaluation, cohort analysis, bias and safety reviews, staged rollout, online guardrail metrics, rollback plans, and ongoing monitoring for drift. I would also partner with policy and safety teams to assess predictable effects on vulnerable communities and content distribution.

How would you work with product and platform teams when model improvements require major infrastructure investment?

I would quantify expected user and business impact, clarify latency, reliability, and cost requirements, and compare incremental and platform-level options. A joint roadmap with shared milestones, ownership, and success criteria helps ensure infrastructure work supports durable product outcomes.
