Module 10: Governance & Rehearsal

Evals, Red Teaming & 30-Day Interview Drills

Interactive technical curriculum synthesized from FAANG and Tier-1 AI startup interview rounds.

Automated Evaluations, Red Teaming & 30-Day Interview Drills

Comprehensive coverage of QA-18, QA-19, QA-35, QA-38, QA-41, and the complete Section F 30-Day Mock Drill Framework. Master LLM-as-a-judge quality gates, eBPF runtime security, and candidate interview execution.

QA-41 • Quality Gates
Automated LLM Evaluation CI/CD Gate (The Ragas Triad)
Source: MLOps Evaluation Loop • Track: MLOps / AI DevOps • Difficulty: Medium-Hard
▼
MetricFormula / DefinitionPass Threshold
FaithfulnessVerifiable claims in output ÷ claims in source context≥ 0.92 (Zero hallucinations)
Answer RelevancyCosine similarity of answer vs user query≥ 0.88
Context RecallGround truth facts retrieved ÷ total facts needed≥ 0.85

Enforce in GitHub Actions: Block PR merge if Faithfulness drops by > 2% against the baseline test suite.

QA-38 • Red Teaming
Indirect Prompt Injection & The Dual-LLM Defense Pattern
Source: AI Security Loop • Track: AI Security / DevOps • Difficulty: Hard
▼
  1. Untrusted Data Extractor (Zero Tools): Reads raw emails and PDFs. Outputs purely typed Pydantic JSON. Has zero access to network or file tools.
  2. Privileged Agent: Reads validated JSON fields only. Never sees raw external prompt strings.
  3. Execution Isolation: Tool executions (code scripts, bash commands) run in ephemeral AWS Firecracker microVMs with link-local IP 169.254.169.254 blocked.
Section F • Rehearsal Blueprint

30-Day Mock Interview Countdown Rehearsal Framework

Week 1: Serving & Memory Math

Calculate Llama-3-70B KV cache on whiteboard cold. Explain FlashAttention online softmax and PagedAttention block tables without hesitation.

Week 2: Kubernetes & Networking

Write a KEDA queue-based ScaledObject manifest. Explain IPVS vs eBPF Cilium bypass for 5,000 services.

Week 3: Agents & Protocols

Build a LangGraph state graph with checkpointer and pre-generated idempotency tokens. Whiteboard Model Context Protocol (MCP) vs REST.

Week 4: Failure War Stories & Design

Rehearse the "2 AM Production Incident" using the STAR framework. Execute full 45-minute timed whiteboard RAG designs.
