The Process
How It Works
Read the Scenario
A real-world engineering problem with traffic targets, SLAs, and constraints.
Design the Architecture
Drag infrastructure components onto a live canvas. Connect and configure them.
Validate & Simulate
Rules fire in real-time. Run failure simulations to stress-test your design.
Get Your Score
Detailed breakdown across 5 skill dimensions with actionable feedback.
Why ARIA
Built for Real Engineering Depth
Instant Feedback
Validation rules fire on every change. Candidates see errors the moment they make them — no waiting for manual review.
Cheat-Resistant
Open-ended canvas challenges can't be Googled. Each scenario demands genuine systems thinking, not memorized answers.
Signal-Rich Scoring
Five skill dimensions — correctness, resilience, security, performance, observability — give hiring teams a clear hiring signal.
