    A mix of 2-3 coding interview rounds (2x LeetCode easy-medium questions per round), 1-2 ML system design rounds and a behavioral round. Do prepare stories for the behavioral questions.

      What is an ML engineer engineering that is not ML? And what position is the most ML-related?

      It’s more about supporting the deployment of the models in production.

    Yes the focus is on applying ML to solve a business problem as opposed to statistics or actual ML. You can search for mock ML design interviews online to get a sense for what these look like. The FB interview page itself has some good tips, as does this https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-answer-any-machine-learning-system-design-interview-question-a98656bb7ff0

  • This is what I’m curious about as well. How deep is this ML knowledge in the 1-2 ML system design rounds?

    Is it more about ML infra? I don’t have a formal education in ML but have a BS in CS and am thinking of transitioning to MLE internally.

    Just trying to understand what type of stuff is actually tested in the ML interview.
