How to customize it
- [ROLE LEVEL] — Specify the seniority (junior, mid-level, senior, staff) to calibrate question difficulty appropriately
- [SKILLS] — List the technical competencies you want to test, such as data structures, algorithms, API design, or specific language features
- [COMPLEXITY] — Define the problem-solving difficulty level you want to assess, from straightforward implementation to multi-step algorithmic thinking
- [MINUTES] — Set the expected time allocation so the question scope matches your interview format
What you'll get back
A complete interview question package containing the problem statement with examples and constraints, multiple solution approaches with trade-off analysis, structured evaluation criteria across four dimensions, follow-up questions for deeper probing, a hints progression guide, red and green flags for candidate assessment, and a model solution with explanations.
