Interview prep that treats AI roles as different species
It exists because an AI Architect and a Data Scientist should not be cramming the same flashcards.

What it does
This repository buckets AI interview questions into five role-specific tracks: AI Engineer, ML Engineer, AI Researcher, Data Scientist, and AI Architect. Rather than generic memorization drills, it frames each track around a distinct thinking pattern—production reliability for engineers, theoretical novelty for researchers, and so on. The aim is to get you reasoning out loud about trade-offs instead of reciting canned answers.
The interesting bit
The structure treats interview prep as mindset calibration, not fact ingestion. By organizing content around how a role thinks—“How do I make this work reliably in production?” versus “Why does this work, and what’s fundamentally new?"—it forces you to context-switch before the hiring manager does.
Key highlights
- Five clearly separated tracks with distinct “thinking patterns” rather than just topic tags
- Explicit focus on system thinking, trade-off awareness, and communication skills
- 1,021 stars suggest the community finds the role-first angle useful
- Organized to highlight how the same concept gets interrogated differently across roles
Caveats
- The README outlines philosophy and folder structure but never shows actual questions or answers, so content depth is unclear without opening the folders
- No language or topic metadata, confirming this is a document collection rather than tooling
Verdict
Worth bookmarking if you are targeting a specific AI role and need to calibrate your answers to the right altitude. Skip it if you want a single generic study guide or executable code.
