Senior AI Engineer Interview Preparation with Ethiraj Murugan

I attended 18 interviews in 30 days as a Senior AI Engineer and received multiple offers above ₹45 LPA. I know exactly what companies are asking in 2026 — and more importantly, what answers actually get offers.

In this 45-minute session we will cover:

→ The 10 most common AI engineering interview questions in 2026 and how to answer them from production experience not textbooks

→ RAG pipeline design — chunking strategy, hybrid search, re-ranking and evaluation frameworks

→ LangGraph vs LangChain — when to use each and how to explain it convincingly in an interview

→ MCP (Model Context Protocol) — what it is, why it matters, and how to talk about it confidently

→ System design for AI systems — reliability, cost optimisation, observability and HITL guardrails

→ Your personal production story — how to turn your experience into compelling interview answers

→ Salary negotiation — how to anchor high and justify your number with confidence

This session is for you if you are a software engineer transitioning into AI engineering, you have AI experience but struggle to articulate it in interviews, or you want to target ₹45 LPA+ roles. This session is not for you if you are looking for theoretical ML or deep learning preparation or LeetCode coaching.
