Alexey Borovkov

1,700 technical interviews with engineers from 28 countries, and four years leading an interviewing team of 22 at Turing, screening for teams at Reddit, Anthropic, Coinbase, PepsiCo, Rivian and Dell. StepUP is that work, run for your roles instead of someone else's.

The question was never the hard part. What separated seniors was how they answered: the trade-off they took, what it cost them, and where their own solution breaks.

The team

Practising engineers, calibrated on one bar.

Every interviewer has 10+ years in production and interviews for a living. Interviews run in English by default; where your hiring runs in another language we add an interviewer who speaks it, at the same bar. Before a role starts we show you who covers your stack: their role, seniority and what they work with.
