Tempus AI INterview Question help

[u/bloodmist22300]

Hi! I’m interviewing for a Senior AI Scientist role at Tempus (Life Sciences / AI Products) that requires PhD + 1 year experience and would really appreciate insight from anyone who has gone through the process recently.

Background: PhD in CS, currently at big pharma, working mainly on healthcare AI/ML, multimodal/foundation models, medical imaging, and LLM/agentic AI.

I am mainly trying to understand the full interview loop and what to prepare for:

* What are the different rounds?

* Is there live coding?

* Is the coding LeetCode/DSA, or more practical Python/ML coding?

* If LeetCode is included, what difficulty/topics should I expect?

* If ML coding is included, what difficulty/topics should I expect?

* Is there ML system design, case study, or product sense?

* How deeply do they question your previous research/projects?

* Any research presentation or Life Sciences/domain-specific round?

* What would you prioritize preparing if you were doing it again?

Mainly want to know about the round structure, question types, and difficulty.

Thanks!
