How a session works
About 20–30 minutes from setup to report. End any time and you still get feedback on what was covered.
-
Set your target
Pick a role, level and stack. Add a job description or your resume if you want questions about your real projects.
-
Answer live
Speak or type. The interviewer follows up on thin answers, raises the difficulty when you're doing well and switches to code when it fits.
-
Read the notes
A report scores every competency, quotes the answers that cost you, and gives you a prep plan for the next session.
A report that quotes you, not a pat on the back
Every score links back to something you actually said.
-
Competency scores
Weighted to the role you picked, so a system design gap counts more for a senior backend role than for a frontend junior.
-
STAR check on every story
See which part of each behavioral answer was missing — usually the Result.
-
How you sounded
Filler words, hedging, "I" versus "we", and whether you cited real numbers — measured from your words, and compared between the first and second half of the interview.
-
A prep plan
The two or three things to practice next, and a skill graph that tracks them across sessions.

Questions
Is the solutions architect interview technical?
Yes. Expect architecture design and cloud trade-off questions, plus customer-scenario and behavioural rounds.
Does it cover AWS specifically?
Questions are cloud-agnostic by default; add AWS, Azure or GCP in the focus field to get provider-specific questions.
Is there a customer role-play?
The interviewer runs customer-style scenarios and follows up on the requirements you uncover and the design you propose.
