How to prepare for this application
- Entity resolution: revise record linkage and duplicate detection, a core problem for artist and track metadata.
- LLMs for data quality: think about using LLMs to flag or correct metadata, and how you would measure precision at catalogue scale.
- Weak labels: quality problems rarely come with labels, so prepare ideas on weak supervision and human review loops.
- Coding: practise data structures and Python or Java.
- Leadership Principles: Amazon interviews lean on them; prepare two or three STAR stories for each.
