For the engineer taking the screen
You're being asked to do your actual job for an hour.
No leetcode. No whiteboard. No interview panel watching you flinch. A real editor, a real task, and an AI pair you can lean on as much or as little as you want. Here's what to expect, and what we'll never do.

What to expect
A normal hour of engineering, with a colleague.
- 1A real codebase, a real taskYou'll open a real editor with a real codebase, a brief, and tests that run.
- 2An AI pair, named LyraLyra helps when you ask, and sometimes asks you questions back. Use Lyra as much or as little as you want.
- 3Your time is yoursThe clock is yours to manage. If something breaks, your work is saved and the clock pauses.
- 4A short conversation at the endAbout 10 minutes walking through your work. Not a grilling — a peer conversation.
What we'll never do
No tricks, no surveillance, no surprises.
- ×Watch your webcamChiron never accesses your camera or microphone. You're assessed on your work, not your face.
- ×Penalize you for breaksStep away if you need to. The clock keeps running, but a 10-minute pause is normal — and never flagged.
- ×Trick you for sportLyra is occasionally wrong by design (and you're told this up front). Lyra is never trying to embarrass you.
- ×Hide your dataYou can request, export, or delete your session at any time. The recording is yours.
