What Interviewers Evaluate

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real job title?

Yes, it emerged in 2025 as companies recognized that context management is a distinct discipline from prompt engineering. It's among the newest AI roles and growing rapidly.

What's the difference from prompt engineering?

Prompt engineers craft instructions for models. Context engineers build the systems that ensure models have access to the right knowledge, data, and background information to answer correctly.

Which vector databases should I know?

Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, ChromaDB, and pgvector are the most commonly used. Understanding trade-offs between hosted and self-managed solutions is important.

How do I prepare for system design questions?

Practice designing end-to-end RAG systems: ingestion, chunking, embedding, indexing, retrieval, reranking, and context assembly. Focus on how you measure and improve retrieval quality.
