Level 200
LockedApply foundational knowledge to real architectural patterns used in production systems. You will learn to design components like message queues, sharded databases, and rate limiters, and practice structuring your answers using a repeatable interview framework.
Unlocks when the previous course is complete.
Level 300
LockedTackle the most common system design interview questions asked at top tech companies by designing full systems end-to-end. You will produce complete architecture diagrams with justified component choices for systems like Twitter, Netflix, and Uber, demonstrating senior-engineer-level thinking.
Unlocks when the previous course is complete.
Level 400
LockedSynthesize everything into polished, senior-staff-level interview performance. You will design complex distributed systems under realistic interview constraints, handle adversarial follow-up questions, and build a portfolio of architecture documents that demonstrate expert-level engineering judgment.
