Interview Kickstart Launches Applied Agentic AI Program for Software Engineers

New course prepares experienced engineers for AI-focused technical interviews at FAANG and big tech companies

Published on Feb. 9, 2026

Interview Kickstart has announced the launch of its Applied Agentic AI for Software Engineers program, designed to help experienced software engineers prepare for technical interviews that now increasingly evaluate AI-driven system design alongside traditional engineering fundamentals. The program targets candidates interviewing at FAANG and other large technology companies, where agent-based architectures and AI-enabled workflows are becoming integral to modern software development.

Why it matters

As enterprises deploy AI agents to automate processes, coordinate services, and manage complex decision flows, expectations for software engineering interviews are evolving. Engineers are no longer assessed solely on algorithms, data structures, or conventional system design, but also on their ability to reason about AI-enabled systems and how autonomous agents interact with existing infrastructure.

The details

The Applied Agentic AI for Software Engineers program focuses on applied, interview-relevant topics such as large language model integration, multi-agent system design, prompt and workflow orchestration, and the deployment of agent-based applications within scalable backend environments. Instruction is delivered by practitioners with experience building and operating production systems at FAANG and other large-scale technology organizations. The program incorporates structured mock interviews and problem-solving sessions that mirror real hiring scenarios.
