3 coding questions.
The first was leetcode Set Matrix Zeroes,
The LeetCode problem Set Matrix Zeroes is a classic 2D array manipulation problem. The description is as follows:
You are given an
𝑚
×
𝑛
m×n matrix of integers. If any element is 0, you must set its entire row and column to 0. In other words, for each cell that contains 0, all cells in the same row and column should be changed to 0.

Multiple steps, intro, team meet. Two coding sessions. Hard coding interview. Leet code style. Nice people. Took long time to schedule next. Felt that I was appreciated. Remote, people different parts over world.
I applied online. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Haïfa) in Jun 2026
Interview
Online assessment consisting of 3 data structures and algorithms questions. First question an easy array question. Second was a hard heap question and the third was a medium 2D dynamic programming question.

Question 1
DP problem: You are given several service options. For each option i, bandwidth[i] is the amount of bandwidth required, and request[i] is the number of requests that can be handled using that bandwidth.
Given a maximum bandwidth limit totalBandwidth, choose a subset of the options so that the total bandwidth used does not exceed totalBandwidth, while the total number of handled requests is as large as possible.
Return the maximum number of requests that can be handled.

Interview
I only made it to the screening round, which involves two technical rounds, I was interviewed by a director and a senior engineer. I could not answer the questions, but the interviewers were very professional and patient throughout the whole process.
