Backend engineer assessment for hiring

Test how candidates design APIs, reason about data, and handle failure — not just syntax.

What this assessment tests

  • REST and API design
  • SQL and data modeling
  • Concurrency and reliability
  • Auth and security basics

Sample question

How would you design rate limiting for a public API without adding noticeable latency to successful requests?

AI-resistant by design

Open-ended system prompts require structured trade-off reasoning. Coding questions execute against hidden test cases.
