Application Process
I found out about this through a friend from IIT BHU, applied through their portal in December 2025, and got a follow-up to schedule an interview in early January.

Problem: Detect Cycle In A Directed Graph
DFS with visited + recursion-stack arrays.
Round Experience
I was asked ML questions and why I wanted to work at an AI startup; after I couldn't answer the ML questions, I was given a simple DSA problem, which I solved.
ML/systems questions: why KV caching matters for agentic inference, how FlashAttention reduces attention memory overhead, and the key components of an MDP in RL.
My selection perspective: I believe I was rejected because I couldn't answer some of the ML questions, and the interview had less DSA emphasis than typical SDE companies -- they seemed to expect an ML background.
Round 1 — My Takeaways
- DSA thoroughly, aptitude/puzzles, two good explained projects, arrays/binary search/DP/recursion, common HR questions.
Resume Tips

Highlight ML projects.
Preparation Tips
ML coursework would've helped a lot for this AI residency.
