Interview Questions
Tell me about an AI system you built that failed in production. How did you detect it, what caused the failure, and what structural changes did you implement?
Evaluates: Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability when facing production failures
Describe a project where you had to choose between training your own model or using a third-party API. What criteria did you use and what trade-offs did you accept?
Evaluates: Openness and systems thinking in architecture decisions
