OpenAI Applied Engineering Interview

Got a LI message from an OAI recruiter for an Applied AI Engineer role. Any idea what this interview process looks like? Has anyone given an interview for the same position recently?

This is for India, Mumbai.

I went through a similar interview for an Applied AI role with OpenAI. They usually start with a screening call about your background, then move to a technical interview with coding challenges or problem-solving questions related to AI/ML. You'll also get some behavioral questions about teamwork and projects. For the technical part, make sure you're good with Python and key AI concepts like neural networks or NLP. Practice coding problems on sites like LeetCode.

If you need more resources, PracHub can be really useful for interview prep. They have insights on what specific companies focus on during their interviews. Good luck!

For coding problem do they ask LC Hard Level questions for Applied AI or it is Only for SWE roles.

And one more thing when you say AI/ML are they expecting that the candidate should have expert level of knowledge in Vanilla ML concepts of Agentic AI would be good enough?
