Structured system design interviews on the canvas candidates already practise on. The design actually runs under load and failure, every interviewer scores the same dimensions against evidence, and people make the decision.
Give a realistic design problem, then judge how the candidate clarifies requirements, estimates load, chooses components and handles failure and cost. The hard part is consistency: interviewers weigh different things. ArchiDepth runs the candidate’s design under load and failure, so every interviewer scores the same dimensions against the same evidence.
It is a structured interview, or a set of them, that measures how a candidate designs systems rather than how much they can recite. A good one uses a fixed rubric, anchored score levels, evidence notes for every score, and the same problem shape for every candidate at a level, so decisions are fair and comparable.
A whiteboard cannot show whether a design holds. Two interviewers can watch the same diagram and disagree about whether it scales, and confident talk can hide a single point of failure. Running the design turns that opinion into evidence: what saturated, what failed, and what it would cost each month.
Candidates design live on the canvas they practise on. Load and failures show what holds.
Every interviewer scores the same dimensions, each score tied to evidence from the session.
A debrief and suggested follow-ups after every round. People make the decision.
Recordings, transcripts and notes under DPDP-ready controls, kept only as long as you choose.
Start with the free course, build your first system on the canvas in a free practice problem, and see how it holds under load.
