AI in interviews
No public policy found. Assume no AI assistance in live rounds unless your recruiter says otherwise.
Typical interview loop
How Ramp usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.
- Focus: Motivation and AI fluency
Recruiter screen
A 25 to 30 minute call on background and motivation; some candidates say it centred on how they use AI day to day.
- Focus: Incremental implementation speed
CodeSignal assessment
A 90-minute online test built as one problem that grows across four levels of added requirements.
- Focus: Working code and edge cases
Technical phone screen
An hour of live coding in a shared editor; one AI engineer instead got a notebook-based data-analysis session.
- Focus: Practical coding and scoping
Onsite practical and product coding
Two coding rounds: extending a realistic codebase with messy inputs, and turning a vague product ask into a working feature.
- Focus: Judgment with AI tools
AI-assisted coding (reported)
A newer round where you build with a tool like Cursor or Claude Code and are scored on prompting, iterating, catching its mistakes and explaining the result.
- Focus: Correctness at scale, ownership
System design and values
A design round on money-moving systems that stay correct under load, plus a values conversation with the hiring manager.
