Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Shift Technology (Boston, MA) en may 2026
Entrevista
The interview process was fairly challenging and consisted of four rounds. The first round was a standard recruiter screening. The second round was with a Data Scientist and involved a very deep technical discussion. Be prepared to explain every concept listed on your resume in detail, including technologies, projects, and day-to-day work experience. They tend to dive deep into even the smaller aspects of your work, so it's important to thoroughly review your resume and be ready to discuss the reasoning behind what you did, not just the tools you used. The third round was scheduled to be with the Hiring Manager, followed by a fourth round with the Head of Data Science. However, I did not advance to those stages, so I can't provide any insight into what those interviews were like.

I don't remember all of the questions because there were quite a few, but my biggest advice is to thoroughly prepare everything on your resume. Be ready to discuss every project, tool, and responsibility from your previous roles in detail. The interview was about an hour long and involved a very deep dive into my experience. For example, if you mention a RAG application, be prepared to explain exactly how you built it, how it was connected to the AI model, how embeddings were generated, what vector database you used, how the data was stored and retrieved, and why you made those design choices.
Case study. You got one page of problems statement and requirements and one page of code. The code implementation is unusual, unwrapping one line python command into c like implementation, dk what they what to assess
Good HR interview, very friendly and informal. Not technical.
Got opportunity to ask about the role and life at Shift technology.
Next step is CoderPad assessment with LeetCode like questions.
