Practice these questions directly. An editable copy is yours to change; the original stays unchanged.
How do you approach evaluating whether AI is the right solution for a given problem?
Tell me about an AI agent or multi-step LLM system you designed. What were the key architectural decisions and why?
A Claude agent repeatedly chooses the wrong tool even though each tool works when called directly. How would you investigate the interface and decide what to change before adding more prompting or orchestration?
A Claude agent says a business task succeeded, but the expected change is missing from the customer's system. How would you design evaluations that distinguish convincing transcripts from successful outcomes across repeated runs?
Describe an experience where you had to implement security or governance controls for an ML system. How did you balance security requirements with model development velocity?
Describe a time when you had to explain complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
