In the competitive landscape of Big Tech (FAANG and beyond), the "Machine Learning System Design" (MLSD) round has become the great filter. Unlike coding interviews, which have thousands of LeetCode problems to practice, or behavioral rounds, which rely on storytelling, the MLSD interview is famously ambiguous. You are asked to design YouTube’s recommendation engine, Uber’s surge pricing, or Tesla’s autopilot data pipeline in 45 minutes.
