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

Recruiter call
An initial screen with a recruiter about your background and the role before any technical step.
- Focus: Coding fundamentals
Online technical assessment
Engineering candidates are screened early with an automated coding assessment on the CodeSignal platform.
- Focus: Coding, edge cases
Technical screen
A live coding round with an engineer where a working solution, clarifying questions and reasoning about where your code could fail are all assessed.
- Focus: Model choice, applied ML
Project and ML case discussion
You explain past projects, why you chose particular models and their trade-offs, then write ML code to solve a small applied prediction case.
- Focus: Coding depth, communication
Final round
A remote block of about four interviews, reported as three coding-focused sessions and one qualitative conversation.
