Typical interview loop
How Lyft usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.
- Focus: Background, role fit
Recruiter screen
A conversation about your background, the role and why Lyft, used to decide whether to move you to a technical screen.
- Focus: Coding, ML basics
Technical phone screen
A live session with an engineer or hiring manager that mixes a coding problem with basic ML questions, checking you have enough of both for the onsite.
- Focus: DSA, code quality
Coding and algorithms
Onsite rounds of data-structure and algorithm problems, often at medium difficulty, where correctness and efficiency are graded closely.
- Focus: Practical coding, OOP
Practical (laptop) coding
A longer hands-on build on your own machine, such as an object-oriented program, testing whether you can produce clean, working, production-style code.
- Focus: ML problem framing, design
ML design / modeling
You frame a real marketplace or product problem in ML terms and design the system end to end, including features, model choice, evaluation and trade-offs.
- Focus: Values, ownership
Behavioral / values
A conversation about past projects, mistakes and lessons learned, checked against Lyft's values.
