Questions you could be asked

Tell me about a workflow you automated with AI tools, end to end.
How do you think about the risk of an AI system in this kind of role failing silently?
What are the limits of PyTorch that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
What's a project where you used TensorFlow hands-on?
How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?

Adapt your resume

List these exact terms on your resume: AI Automation, AI Safety, PyTorch, and TensorFlow. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
