Interview Prompt

Thousands of resumes arrive each month as PDFs and scanned images, landing as files in an S3 bucket. What end-to-end pipeline extracts each candidate's name, skills, work history and education from every document and makes them queryable?

Summary

A thousand resumes. Structured data inside each one.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Draw your pipeline on the design canvas: sources, transforms, storage and checks
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
