Typical interview loop
How Runway usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.
- Focus: Background, motivation
Recruiter screen
A 30-45 minute call covering your background, why Runway, and logistics.
- Focus: Practical coding
Technical screen
About an hour of live coding with an engineer, usually in Python or TypeScript, where working code and clear reasoning count most.
- Focus: Role fit, engineering judgment
Hiring manager interview
A conversation on past work and role fit that mixes technical and behavioral questions; one candidate was handed an unannounced coding exercise here.
- Focus: End-to-end building
Take-home assignment (some roles)
One reported software loop included a large build-and-test task, roughly a day's work, followed by a short slide deck about it.
- Focus: Coding, ML system design
Onsite: coding and system design
More live coding (sometimes reviewing and improving existing code) plus a design round; ML roles get an ML system design focused on media and GPU workloads, and research roles may discuss a paper.
- Focus: Ownership, collaboration
Deep dive and behavioral
You walk through the hardest problem you've owned and your choices, then talk about collaboration, feedback and working at a fast pace.
