Engineering Exercise
You have 2 hours to complete this exercise. The clock starts the moment you click "Start Exercise" and cannot be paused.
Before You Begin
Use of agentic coding agents is required. You are expected to leverage AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) throughout the exercise.
The task is highly open-ended. A fully featured app cannot be built within the time given. The purpose is to understand your building process — not the result of what you built.
You will NOT be evaluated on how many lines of code or how many features you build. You will be evaluated on:
- •Efficient use of AI agents to autonomously design, build, and test
- •Your
.mdfiles — agent instructions, plans, hooks, etc. - •The nature and quality of instructions you give to the coding agent
- •Quality of automated testing
Please include in your repository:
- →A log of your conversations with the coding agent (copy-paste into a committed
.mdfile, or use your tool's built-in export feature) - →Any
.mdfiles (plans, instructions, hooks, etc.) - →Instructions on how to start the app
You are not required to:
- Deploy to any infrastructure — localhost is fine
- Include a persistent database (though you may if you feel it's necessary)
