Vercel's AI-Native Interview Process: Live Coding with Codex
brandon_galang · x · 2026-08-17
A candidate shared their interview experience at Vercel for an applied AI role, calling it the most 'AI-native' process they've encountered. The loop consisted of three sessions: live discovery with a stakeholder, building and presenting the scoped project, and a 'live coding' session where they prompted Codex while explaining their thought process. They found it provided strong signal for both sides and suggested that lacking such a process for AI roles might be a red flag.
