Not for Beginners. Not Sorry.
This track assumes you can code, you've shipped to production, and you're ready to level up.
Senior Engineers (5+ years)
You build features daily but want to think at the architecture level. This track gives you the mental models to design systems, not just implement them.
Tech Leads & Staff Engineers
You're expected to make system-level decisions. This track sharpens your ability to evaluate trade-offs and communicate architecture choices.
Interview Candidates
System design interviews are your bottleneck. This track doesn't teach you to memorize — it teaches you to think like the interviewer.

Common Questions
Do I need to know distributed systems already?
No. We start with high-level design and build up to distributed systems, replication, and consensus. You need solid coding experience (5+ years) but not prior distributed systems knowledge.
Is this just interview prep?
No — but it will absolutely help with interviews. The difference is we teach you to actually design production systems, not just whiteboard them. The interview skills come as a side effect of real understanding.
What if I miss a live session?
All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours. You also have access to the cohort Slack for async Q&A.
Ready to level up?
12 weeks. Real projects. Senior engineers only. The next cohort starts soon.
