Before I refer you, show me how you work.

I refer engineers to HighLevel's SDE II and SDE III roles once they clear this challenge. It's one realistic engineering problem told in four short stages, an outage to debug or a feature to build, and you don't need to know HighLevel to do well. Most people finish in under an hour, on a laptop or a phone, and everyone gets written feedback.

Sample update02:14

An agency says its customers got the same appointment reminder text three times last night.

Three more updates arrive as you answer. Yours might be an outage like this one, or a feature to design and build.

Ground rules

AI tools

Stages 1 to 3 are your own thinking, so no AI. Stage 4 is marked AI allowed and asks you to review an AI agent's work.

What's recorded

Typing activity, pastes and tab switches, only while the challenge is open, plus any voice notes you choose to record. It helps me ask better questions on our call. Nobody is rejected on it alone.

Your data

Everything, voice notes included, is deleted 60 days after your last step, unless you ask me to keep it for a future role.

Your details

These go into your referral as written, so use the name and email you'd give a recruiter.
