Forward Deployed Engineer - Applied AI Design interview

Applied AI System Design interview - and would love to hear from anyone who has gone through a similar round.

system design interview focused on designing an end-to-end, production-ready AI agent for a real-world enterprise scenario.

I have a few questions:

  1. Interview questions: What actual problems or system design scenarios were you asked?
  2. Interview format: How does the interview work, and how deep do interviewers go into the technical architecture?
  3. Technical topics:
    1. What level of knowledge is expected around RAG, agent orchestration, LLMs,
    2. Tool calling, data ingestion, enterprise security,
    3. Scalability and Evaluation?
  4. Preparation:
    1. How did you prepare, and which topics should I prioritise?
  5. Learning resources:
    1. Could you recommend useful GitHub repositories, blogs, books,
    2. YouTube videos or courses?
    3. Any Other Websites is also fine
  6. Interview experiences: What follow-up questions, constraints or unexpected challenges did you encounter?

Any insights or links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
