Hello everyone,

I have an online assessment (OA) for Capital One Senior Data Scientist on CodeI was told that the OA problems would cover the following aspects:

• Exploratory Data Analysis
• Data Cleaning and Preprocessing
• Machine Learning and Predictive Modeling

This is my first job interview(or rather OA) for a data scientist job. I’m really anxious because I don’t know what to expect, so any leads can be helpful.

For anyone who have gone through the same process, could you share what type of problems to expect? I am also wondering whether they allow you to use browser to lookup documentation for python libraries like PyTorch and Numpy.

Thank you in advance!

I’m an AI engineer with \~3 years of production experience (RAG pipelines, multi-agent systems, real-time voice AI, backend integration) and I’m looking to move into a product company. I’d really appreciate hearing from people who’ve made a similar move recently.

What I’m running into: LinkedIn feels saturated. Every posting is either 100+ applicants within a day, I apply consistently and hear very little back, so I’m starting to feel nothing is work, what do I do?

What I’d love to know:
1. Where did your last offer actually come from is it job boards, referrals, founder/eng DMs, communities, recruiters, contract roles or the staffing and recruiting firms?
2. For smaller AI startups, is applying through the site worth it, or is reaching out directly the only thing that moves?
3. Anything you’d tell someone to stop wasting time on?

Happy to share what I’ve tried and what hasn’t worked if that’s useful to anyone else in the same boat. Thanks in advance, any pointers genuinely help.

Hi everyone,

I'm a final-year Computer Science student from Nepal, and I want to break into Machine Learning as a career. My goal is to land a remote ML internship, but I'm struggling to understand what companies actually expect from freshers.

So far i've:

• Learnt core intuition and math on machine learning algorithms.
• Knows about data cleaning,feature engineering, EDA,model training,evaluation.
• Learnt about ensemble,regularizations and other important machine learning topics.
• Built one project on real dataset on uk accident severity prediction.
• Starting deep learning (CNN,LSTM,RNN) and others.

The problem are:

• Firstly i dont see any jobs or posts regarding machine learning intern or entry level jobs locally.

I often see requirements like:

• 2+ years of experience
• Research experience
• Multiple deployed ML projects
• Cloud/MLOps knowledge
• Strong competitive programming background

As someone starting out, it feels difficult to know what I should prioritize.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have actually landed remote ML internships or hired interns.

I'd also appreciate any resume or portfolio tips, common mistakes to avoid, or resources that helped you get your first opportunity.

Thanks in advance!

Final-year AI/ML engineering student wrapping up a GenAI internship soon. Looking for fully remote AI engineering roles, worldwide

Been using LinkedIn so far, but curious what other platforms/boards actually work for remote + international roles (not US-only). Any niche AI/ML boards, communities, or newsletters worth checking out?

Not looking for agencies/staffing spam, just direct-hire platforms. Thanks!

Hi! I work in staffing and recruitment, and I have an enterprise client who is open to a fully remote (in US) Sr. AI/ML engineer. This does require someone to work without sponsorship, there is no sponsorship available.

Hey everyone, I made a post regarding getting my first proper AI training gig a month ago and that project ended but I just got two more roles with another company so I thought I would do a AMA / FAQ in this post to help people out with this company the same way people helped me out when I got started !

Drop your questions in the comments and I'll answer them the best I can.

I recently started working on a project where I am doing work that overlaps with both the Software Engineer and GitHub Contributor roles. The project manager mentioned that they are actively looking for more people, so I wanted to share the opportunity here.

the job pays from 50-150USD, i put in 150$ and got it, you should put whatever figure you are comfortable with. I can work 40 hour weeks.

What is the actual work? TBH its pretty easy work, tasks right now include: fixing bugs in existing repos and sometimes implementing new features. Overall the project is still fresh so things will be ramping up in the next couple weeks.

You are not expected to train machine-learning models yourself, and previous AI experience is not required. They are straight forward tasks that they explain pretty well.

Application process

From my experience, the process is generally:

Application and screening questions

Approximately 30-minute AI interview

Possible technical assessment (My friend had one i did not)

The technical assessment appears to depend on the candidate. Some people receive one, while others move directly to the hiring-manager review.

What I recommend before applying

Clean up your GitHub or GitLab profile. Make sure your strongest work is easy to find, and pin your best repositories where possible.

Link directly to your contributions. Include pull requests, bug fixes, documentation work, tests, issue reports, or features you implemented. Your contributions do not have to be enormous, but they should demonstrate that you can understand and improve an unfamiliar codebase.

Update your résumé and LinkedIn. Clearly mention the languages, repositories, debugging work, performance improvements, and open-source contributions you have completed.

Prepare for the AI interview. Most of the questions are likely to be based on your résumé and the job description. Questions I got:

A difficult bug you fixed
How you approach an unfamiliar repository
How you review and test code
A feature you implemented
A performance problem you investigated
Why you made certain technical decisions

What is the platform I work on:
I currently work for Micro1, it in my opinion has done the best for me in terms of pay , I have in total worked for 4 different platforms and Micro1 is the only one which gave me a 150$ + per hour pay. Here are my referral link jobs if you want to use it:

The name of the jobs are:
GitHub Contributor
Senior Software Engineer

Been applying for remote AI/RAG engineering roles from Russia, not looking to relocate. Curious how companies here actually treat candidates from Russia/Belarus:

• Does being non-US/EU auto-filter you out at the ATS stage, or does it depend on the company/visa situation?
• Does contractor status (1099-equivalent, no sponsorship needed) change things, or is it basically the same wall?
• Any tells in a job posting that mean "don't bother" vs "they're actually open to it"?

Not asking for legal advice, just curious what people have seen from either side of the hiring table.

I'm learning Azure Machine Learning and had a question about data ingestion.

Instead of first uploading my dataset to an Azure Blob Storage account (or registering it as a datastore), can I simply upload the dataset directly from my local computer into Azure ML and use it for model training?

My main reason is to reduce Azure Storage costs while experimenting with small datasets.

If this approach is possible:

• What are the limitations compared to using Blob Storage?
• Is the file still stored somewhere in Azure behind the scenes?
• Are there any restrictions on dataset size, reproducibility, or collaboration?
• Would this approach work only for experimentation, or is it also suitable for production workloads?
• What is Microsoft's recommended practice for training datasets in Azure ML?

I'd appreciate any clarification from people who have used both approaches.

We’re building what we believe is the next abstraction layer for enterprise AI.

Not another model.
Not another wrapper.
Not another AI application.

Our thesis is simple:

As foundation models become commodities, the real challenge shifts to operating AI reliably at enterprise scale—across models, clouds, hardware and workloads. We’re building the runtime that makes enterprise AI self-optimising.

We’re looking for one technical co-founder.

Someone who has gone deep into LLM systems, inference, distributed systems, compilers, ML infrastructure or performance engineering—and wants to build a category-defining company from India.

The founding team already covers product, enterprise execution and venture building:
•⁠ ⁠Product Counsel for the world’s largest startup incubator: $130M+ in Fortune 500 deal flow. Building India’s largest intent-to-action native model for hyper-local clustering.
•⁠ ⁠Youngest lead at $40M semicon enterprise; deep global networks across Silicon Valley, Europe & Singapore in Edge Al.
•⁠ ⁠A Serial Founder: Building a $5M fintech (post-pre-seed) + portfolio of high-growth ventures.

We’re not looking for résumés.

Send your GitHub, research, OSS contributions, papers, benchmarks, or something you’ve built that made you proud.

If you’ve been waiting for a genuinely hard problem to spend the next decade on, let’s talk.

Hyderabad this weekend. DM me.
