Role Overview
🏢 About HackerRank
HackerRank is a developer skills platform used by over 2,500 companies — including NVIDIA, Amazon, and Microsoft — to evaluate and hire engineering talent based on demonstrated ability rather than credentials. Their tools cover technical screening, live interviews, and developer upskilling.
🎯 The Role
This is a lead-level frontend position with full ownership of HackerRank's candidate assessment product — the interface developers use when taking technical evaluations. Performance, accessibility, and reliability are first-class concerns here because the product directly affects whether a candidate can demonstrate their true ability.
The role also sits at the centre of HackerRank's AI push: you'll contribute to AI-powered assistants inside the assessment experience and work with internal AI agents that accelerate engineering workflows across the team.
