Typical interview loop
How Twitch usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.
- Focus: Background, role fit
Recruiter chat
A 15-30 minute call about your background and fit, and the moment to ask for any accessibility support.
- Focus: Team fit, experience
Hiring manager chat
A 30-60 minute conversation with your likely manager, after which you learn whether a skills assessment is needed.
- Focus: Practical coding ability
Skills assessment
If the role requires it, an asynchronous exercise such as a coding test, done within a one-to-two-week window.
- Focus: Technical depth, past-behavior examples
Onsite loop
Four to five remote interviews of 45-60 minutes, possibly over several days, mixing technical rounds with a heavy dose of behavioral questions.
