Bangalore RuralPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

One distinctive part of the recruiting flow was a hackathon-style task.

I was asked to build a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline using tools like LangChain, and the goal wasn’t just to make it work—it also pushed me to think about reducing hallucinations.

The rest of the journey wasn’t described in detail, but that hands-on build made the process feel very focused on applied engineering rather than purely theoretical discussion. I didn’t end up with an offer, but the direction of the task made it clear what they valued technically.
