What this interview will probe

Design and ship the systems that power Devin's long-horizon task execution: tool use, context management, multi-step planning, subagent orchestration, and sandboxed code-execution environments. This is applied-AI systems work on getting an agent to reason reliably across thousands of lines of code, not feature plumbing. A technical interview would probe agent architecture and tool-use design, strategies for managing context over long-running tasks, and how you'd make multi-step agent behavior reliable and recoverable when individual steps fail.

How should I prepare for a Software Engineer interview?

Read the role brief, refresh the core stack, and practice explaining tradeoffs out loud. Live interviews test clarity as much as knowledge.

ExoForm gives you an overall score, a verdict, competency scores, and answer-by-answer feedback.

Can I use my own job description instead?

Yes. You can paste any job description and run a custom interview instead of starting from the catalog.
