Senior Software Engineer Interview Preparation
A senior-level knowledge base covering frontend, backend, programming languages, system design, performance, DevOps, security, and Generative AI — focused on how things actually work and the trade-offs behind engineering decisions.
Why This Platform Exists
- • No shallow Q&A or memorization-based prep
- • Deep focus on internals and execution models
- • Heavy emphasis on trade-offs and real-world decisions
- • Designed for senior, staff, and lead-level interviews
- • Covers modern stacks including cloud and GenAI
