senior-coding-interview

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you prepare for senior-level (L6+) coding interviews by focusing on practical system-building problems, not just algorithmic puzzles. It guides you through demonstrating senior-level signals like clean abstractions, communication, and production sensibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Practice Real-World Problems: Work through scenarios like in-memory stores, rate limiters, and task schedulers.
• Develop Communication Strategy: Learn to narrate your thought process effectively during live coding.
• Master Senior Signals: Understand and demonstrate what interviewers look for at Staff+ levels (e.g., trade-off analysis, extensibility).
• Use Case: You have an upcoming Staff+ interview focused on coding. Use this Skill to simulate the interview environment, practice the 4-stage approach (Clarify, Skeleton, Iterate, Optimize), and refine your explanations for complex trade-offs.

Quick Start

Use the senior-coding-interview skill to practice building an in-memory key-value store.
