- How do you think about the risk of an AI system in this kind of role failing silently?
- Tell me about a project where devops was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where mlops was part of your work. What did you do?

Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: ML Ops, AI Safety, DevOps, MLOps, and Sre. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.

- Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
