In processGoogle AI Infrastructure PhD New Grad: ML General Research Interview Format
Role: AI Infrastructure Software Engineer, PhD New Grad
Result: Interview process in progress
Report time: December 2025
The candidate's planned loop contained:
- Two technical coding interviews
- One ML General Research interview
- One behavioral interview
The ML General Research round used a shared Google document. Before the interview, the candidate was unsure whether it would cover ML fundamentals, algorithms, ML-system design, or the candidate's own research.
Post-interview clarification
The candidate later said the round felt similar to system design and allowed them to incorporate their own research.
No actual design prompt, system requirements, inputs, outputs, or evaluation task were disclosed. Other commenters reported seeing different formats—ML fundamentals, system design, or applying ML to traditional science problems—but those were separate candidates' observations, not this candidate's exact questions.
Because the report establishes only the format and not a reusable task, no practice link is asserted.
