✅ Prerequisites

  • RAG fundamentals (built a basic RAG)
  • MLOps
  • System design
  • Advanced Python

Step-by-step milestones

1

Hybrid search pipeline

Combine BM25 sparse + dense vector retrieval.

2

Reranking

Add cross-encoder reranking for top-K results.

3

Multi-tenancy

Isolate data per user/org with namespace partitions.

4

Streaming responses

Stream tokens to the UI via SSE.

5

Observability

Trace every query with latency, token cost, and retrieval quality.

6

LLM gateway

Add rate limiting, fallbacks, and cost tracking.

7

Load testing

Benchmark at 100 concurrent users.

📝 Interview questions you'll face

  • 1.How does hybrid search improve recall?
  • 2.How do you handle reranking latency?
  • 3.How do you debug a RAG system that gives wrong answers?
  • 4.Design a RAG system for 10M documents.

🌟 Portfolio guidance

Document architecture decisions with diagrams. Include benchmark numbers (latency P50/P99, retrieval precision). This alone can get you senior-level interviews.
