Typical interview loop

How Synthesia usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.

  1. Tech recruiter interview

    Focus: Background, motivation, logistics

    A 30-40 minute video call about your technical background, past roles and what you want next.

  2. Delivery and impact interview

    Focus: Ownership, impact, ways of working

    An hour going deep on projects you shipped, what changed because of them and how you like to work.

  3. Live coding / work scenario

    Focus: Practical coding, collaboration

    A 75-90 minute practical problem solved together with an engineer, deliberately not puzzle-style, with AI coding help allowed.

  4. System design discussion

    Focus: Production architecture, trade-offs

    An hour on architecture problems modelled on issues Synthesia has actually hit in production.

  5. Leadership retrospective

    Focus: Collaboration, growth, values fit

    A senior leader, often your future manager or the VP of Engineering, asks about collaboration and growth and explains the role.
