Asked about Working out whether you need this
Do AI engineering roles still ask algorithm questions?
An answer that works
It depends on the company rather than the role title. Large companies and infrastructure-flavoured teams generally still do. Product-focused AI companies where agents and retrieval are the product frequently do not, running practical build rounds instead.
Reading an answer is not being able to give one. The section that teaches this is Working out whether you need this, 2 hours of Data structures & algorithms.
