No prior AI or machine learning experience is required. The program starts from foundational concepts and builds up. However, it assumes strong software engineering fundamentals.
What programming background is expected before starting the course?
You should be comfortable with coding, APIs, and basic system concepts. Experience with backend or distributed systems is helpful. This is not a beginner programming course.
How is the program structured across Agentic AI, Agentic AI interview prep, and domain interview prep?
The program has three integrated layers. First, you build applied Agentic AI systems. Second, you learn how to reason about and explain those systems in interviews. Third, you prepare for domain interviews covering data structures, system design, backend engineering, and full stack interviews.
What topics are covered in the Applied Agentic AI curriculum?
You cover agent foundations, RAG systems, multi-agent orchestration, conversational and multimodal agents, structured communication protocols, domain-specific agents, evaluation, safety, cost optimization, fine tuning, and production deployment.
What is included in the Agentic AI interview preparation portion?
You learn how to choose agentic versus deterministic approaches, explain design patterns, define tool contracts, reason about orchestration and memory, handle failure modes, and defend decisions through real interview-style case questions.
What does domain-level interview preparation cover?
Domain preparation includes data structures and algorithms, scalable system design, backend engineering, database design, API design, cloud architecture, concurrency, and full stack system design aligned with Tier 1 interview expectations.
How does this course help me think in systems, not just tools or prompts?
Every concept is taught through architecture, tradeoffs, failure analysis, and evaluation. You learn when not to use agents, how to simplify designs, and how to balance quality, cost, latency, and risk in real systems.
What tools, frameworks, and technologies will I work with?
You will work with Python, LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI APIs, Hugging Face tools, FAISS, Chroma, FastAPI, Streamlit, LangSmith, TruLens, Docker, and production monitoring concepts.
What are Live Guided Projects and how do they work?
Live Guided Projects are instructor-led, code-along builds where you learn how to design and implement systems step by step. They focus on learning the correct mental model without overwhelming you.
How are Capstone Projects different from Live Guided Projects?
Capstone Projects are learner-driven and enterprise-scale. You apply everything you have learned, receive structured feedback, iterate on your design, and present your system like a real engineering review.
What kind of real-world systems will I build during the program?
You will build RAG-based knowledge assistants, multi-agent research systems, conversational agents with memory and voice, negotiation simulators, decision support systems, production-ready support agents, and a full enterprise-grade multi-agent capstone.
Will I learn evaluation, safety, observability, and cost optimization for AI systems?
Yes. Evaluation, guardrails, observability, logging, cost tracking, and optimization are core parts of the curriculum. You learn how to operate AI systems responsibly in production.
How does EdgeUp prepare me for real Tier 1 interviews beyond coding practice?
The program focuses heavily on reasoning, communication, and tradeoff discussion. You practice explaining architectures, handling follow-up questions, and defending decisions the way Tier 1 interviewers expect.
What kind of mock interviews and feedback do I receive?
You receive mock interviews with senior engineers and hiring managers, along with detailed feedback on clarity, correctness, structure, and decision-making.
Who teaches this program and what is their real-world experience?
Absolutely. The instructors are AI/ML practitioners from FAANG and other Tier 1 companies who bring practical, production-level experience to the classroom.
Can PMs, TPMs, or EMs take this program without deep coding backgrounds?
Yes, as long as you are technically strong and comfortable with system concepts. The program emphasizes reasoning, architecture, and decision-making, not just writing code.
What career support is included beyond the core curriculum?
You receive resume and LinkedIn optimization, behavioral interview preparation, offer negotiation guidance, and extended support through mock interviews and expert sessions.
What outcomes can I realistically expect after completing EdgeUp 2026?
You graduate with a strong portfolio of production-style agentic systems, confidence in AI system design, and readiness for Tier 1 interviews that test both engineering depth and AI judgment. Alumni report an average compensation of $312,275, a 5x ROI on course investment, and successful transitions into top-tier companies with AI-focused roles.
Do I get interview prep support?
Yes. You get up to 20 mock interview sessions with hiring managers and senior technical experts from FAANG+ companies, designed to closely simulate real interview scenarios.
This includes 5 Agentic AI–focused mock interviews covering agentic system design, architecture trade-offs, evaluation, and production readiness, along with 15 domain-level mock interviews tailored to your role (SWE, PM, TPM, or EM), covering system design, coding, and role-specific rounds.
Is there a coding prerequisite?
For Software Engineering track, relevant coding experience is required. For participants in non-software programs, coding experience is good-to-have, but not mandatory.
