South KoreaPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

They were especially interested in my research background, since I came in with a PhD.

The conversation also focused on optimization experience from my software engineering work.

What helped a lot was that the job description seemed aligned with what they asked. Because the questions matched the kind of technical themes I’d been working on, it didn’t feel like I was answering random prompts.

I left feeling like the interviewers genuinely understood what they were hiring for and were trying to connect my past work to that need.
