What can I work on?
Alex is similar to a marketplace, as we serve both candidates through the interview experience and employers through a data aggregation and analysis platform.

-
How can we bring the average interviewer response latency down to 200ms?

-
How will our system architecture change as we scale to thousands more users, concurrently?
Problems that you could work on related to enterprise software are:

How do we integrate with our customer’s internal hiring systems?
-
What’s the best way to present interview results visually and as fast as possible?
-
How can Alex expand to coordinating the hiring process end to end?
-
And many, many feature requests that need to be built out!
