I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Polly (WA) (Bellevue, WA) in May 2025
Interview
The process started with a positive initial recruiter chat, which then moved to a 45-minute technical conversation with two engineers on the AI team. The discussion was engaging and focused primarily on practical application and system design concepts relevant to AI.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you walk me through a complex backend system or AI-driven feature you have built from start to finish, and what were the key technical decisions and trade-offs you had to make?
