Learn · Interview Prep
Engineering interviews changed shape. So has the prep.
What's actually being assessed in 2026 engineering interviews — and how to demonstrate it. Track-specific, not generic.
Modules
Six modules.
01
AI-assisted live coding
How interviewers now run live coding when AI is on the table. What they're really watching for. How to demonstrate it.
02
The replay defense round
Walking an interviewer through a session: prompts, redirects, rejections. Talking like an engineer, not a demo reel.
03
System design, post-AI
What changed: model-as-dependency, eval surfaces, tool boundaries. What didn't: capacity planning, failure modes, blast radius.
04
Debugging rounds
Live debugging interviews with AI assistance allowed. How to keep the hypothesis loop visible to the interviewer.
05
Behavioral, but engineering-flavored
Stories about real decisions: when you rejected the model, when you escalated, when you owned a bad call.
06
Take-home patterns
Cross-referenced with the take-home track. What good submissions look like, and what disqualifies otherwise-strong work.
