This post details the adaptation of Cerebras's technical interview process to incorporate AI tools. It outlines how interviews now resemble real engineering tasks, with candidates expected to use AI for implementation, debugging, and testing. The evaluation focuses on AI collaboration skills, including problem framing, verification, and ownership, rather than just the final code. The goal is to identify engineers who can leverage AI effectively and responsibly in an AI-native environment.
