How it works
Your work is the application
There is no generic take-home quiz. Choose a real problem, improve it, and show us how you think.
01
Choose a role and challenge
Use one of our examples as a starting point, adapt its scope, or propose a focused challenge of your own.
02
Build in a fork
Work in a branch of the ZeneraNeo repository and approach the change as a real contribution.
03
Open a pull request
Explain the problem, your improvement, the evidence, and the scope you deliberately left out.
04
Discuss the work with us
We read the pull request before the call, then talk through your choices, evidence, trade-offs, and what you would do next.
What matters here
Evidence, judgement, and clear communication
We care about what you verified, which trade-offs you made, and whether another engineer can reproduce your result. A narrow change done well beats a large change done thinly.
Verify
Back claims with tests, output, timings, or files.
