For more senior candidates: direction setting on code code architecture, planning and leading projects

Qualities of a strong candidate:

Reliable and trustworthy results: meticulous, good experimental design, epistemic self-awareness and transparency
Prioritization: be scrappy while balancing appropriately with meticulousness
- Keep low-level planning connected to high-level goals
Generative: come up with original, productive ideas for unblocking progress
Deep domain knowledge in some area of ML research, such as interpretability, RL, basic systems performance / GPUs
Strong programming ability, including navigating trade-offs between prototyping speed and maintainability
Strong communication skills, low ego, openness to giving and receiving feedback
