Top interview questions by level
Based on real 2026 AI agent engineer interviews
Beginner / Junior
Foundational Questions
Q: What is the difference between an LLM and an AI agent?
A: An LLM is a text predictor. An agent adds tools, memory, a planner, a loop, and guardrails.
Learn this: S14 Lesson 1
Q: Explain the ReAct pattern.
A: Reason, Act, Observe, Repeat. The agent thinks out loud, calls a tool, reads the result, then decides again.
Learn this: S14 Lesson 3
Q: What is MCP and why does it matter?
A: Model Context Protocol -- a standard for connecting AI models to tools. Like a USB port for AI. 97M+ installs.
Learn this: S15 Lesson 1
Intermediate / Senior
Architecture & Production Questions
Q: How would you scale an agent system from 10 to 10,000 users?
A: Queue-based execution, external state store, streaming responses, model-call budgets, sticky routing.
Learn this: S16 Lesson 4
Q: An agent is stuck in an infinite loop. How do you debug it?
A: Max iteration limits, circuit breakers (3 fails = stop), trace every step, check for two agents bouncing tasks.
Learn this: S17 Lesson 3
Q: How do you test an agent that gives different answers every time?
A: Property-based testing, statistical pass rates with thresholds, golden set monitoring, drift detection.
Learn this: S18 Lesson 5
Advanced / Staff+
System Design & Leadership Questions
Q: Design a multi-agent system for customer support with guardrails.
A: Supervisor pattern, role-based agents, shared state, per-tool scopes, human escalation, cost budgets, observability.
Learn this: S14 Lesson 4 + S17 Lesson 1
Q: How would you handle agent identity and authorization in production?
A: Service accounts per agent, OAuth with PKCE, scoped tokens per tool, on-behalf-of flows, revoke on disconnect.
Learn this: S15 Lesson 4 + S19 Lesson 1
Q: Your LLM provider changes the model. Everything breaks. What do you do?
A: Pin model versions, test against new versions in staging, have rollback ready, fallback to alternate provider via gateway.
