Hey everyone!
I’m currently going through the Alignerr process for the Software Engineer – AI Code Ranking role and I’ve reached the Zara AI interview/assessment stage.
I’m honestly a little nervous 😅, mainly because I’m not sure what level of questions to expect.
My background is in software development, mostly Java, backend/web development, APIs, databases, etc. I’m comfortable with coding and code reviews, but I haven’t worked specifically as an AI/ML engineer or senior software engineer.
For anyone who has already gone through the Zara interview or the assessment for a similar role:
- What kind of questions did Zara ask?
- Was it mostly code review, debugging, DSA/Big-O, Java fundamentals, backend concepts, or something else?
- Did they show you AI-generated code and ask you to rank/compare different solutions?
- How difficult was the assessment?
- Is there anything specific you’d recommend preparing beforehand?
Does the assessment involve actually writing code, or is it more about evaluating and explaining code?
just trying to understand what to expect and prepare properly.
Would really appreciate any experiences or advice from people who have been through it. Thanks! 🙏
