I applied online. I interviewed at Shield AI (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2026
Interview
Very smooth interview process, quick turnaround time and a polite team. I can tell it's a workplace that will require a lot of hours of work, but for the benefits of the job, it's worth it for me.
The process was:
1. Recruiter screen
2. C++ assessment via Hackerrank (not hard if you've worked with C++ for a few years professionally, but it is time consuming)
3. Interview with Hiring Manager. This is where you must impress.
4. On-site interview (4 hour interview) - 1 presentation, 1 values interview, 1 system design problem, 1 behavioral interview. There was a chill lunch in the middle of these as well.
