Software Engineer at xAI

The candidate was initially referred to a Senior Safety role after applying for a different position at xAI. The interview process included a hiring manager screen, a technical phone screen, and an onsite interview in Palo Alto. The onsite consisted of a coding round and a combined coding/system design round, followed by a brief call. While the technical questions focused on practical class design rather than typical LeetCode problems, the candidate found the preparation resources and overall process to be somewhat disorganized.
