An ML engineering candidate who did Snap’s virtual onsite AI-assisted round said theirs was a LeetCode-style problem with AI turned on, and called it easy. Formats differ by role: a backend candidate in the same discussion got a schema, API and business logic task instead.
Backend AI-assisted coding round, likely in HackerRank with its agent plugin. It wasn’t LeetCode style: design a data schema, an API and the business logic. Be ready to justify which AI mode you use (agent, planning) and to switch models to fit the task. They evaluate your prompting, how you critique the generated code, how you choose between options and how you steer to the right solution. The candidate liked the format.
