  Estimate ATE of personalization on streaming

  This question evaluates causal inference and experimental-analysis competencies by asking for estimation of the average treatment effect (ATE) of personalization on minutes streamed, reporting a 95% confidence interval, and reasoning about the use of pre-treatment covariates, and it sits in the Analytics & Experimentation domain for a Data Scientist role. It is commonly asked to assess application of randomized experiment analysis and statistical inference while probing conceptual understanding of causal assumptions and covariate adjustment, testing both conceptual understanding and practical application.

  How would you evaluate a free-trial A/B test?

  Evaluates skills in A/B test design and causal inference within the Analytics & Experimentation domain, emphasizing precise metric definition (including guardrails), choice of analysis population (ITT vs per‑protocol), handling of post‑treatment selection, and interpretation of binary conversion and retention metrics; the abstraction level is technical and oriented toward intermediate-to-senior data scientists who must combine statistical rigor with product impact thinking. Commonly asked because it tests the ability to balance acquisition versus downstream retention and revenue, to identify typical analysis pitfalls (time-window errors, incorrect joins/denominators, leakage, peeking, and selection bias), and to translate experiment results into a business recommendation linked to value metrics like LTV and payback period.

  Design and backtest a trading strategy

  This question evaluates a candidate's ability to design and rigorously evaluate a minute-level mean-reversion trading strategy, encompassing quantitative finance competencies such as signal construction, risk controls, position sizing, transaction-cost modeling, reproducible backtesting, and statistical validation; it belongs to the Analytics & Experimentation category within financial time-series and backtesting. It is commonly asked because it tests both practical implementation skills (reproducible backtests and walk-forward validation) and conceptual understanding (overfitting, data-snooping, and statistical significance testing), requiring a mix of practical application and conceptual statistical reasoning.
