The Andela Standard: Network Entrance Assessments

Golang developers are responsible for architecting, implementing, and optimizing scalable back-end solutions using the Go programming language. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, they ensure the seamless integration of back-end services, optimize system performance, and troubleshoot intricate technical challenges. Successful candidates exhibit a strong command of Go programming, possess a deep understanding of back-end architecture, and showcase exceptional problem-solving capabilities within dynamic software landscapes.

1. Qualifications

  • A minimum of 4 years of professional experience in a Golang developer role (excluding intern and volunteer experience).
  • A bachelor's degree in a technology-related field or equivalent work experience.
  • Excellent spoken and written English communication skills.
  • Proficiency in Go programming language with a solid understanding of back-end development concepts and best practices.
  • Experience working with databases, server-side frameworks, and RESTful APIs in Go.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a results-oriented mindset.
  • A commitment to continuous learning and adapting to evolving technologies.
  • A collaborative and team-oriented approach to projects.

2. Skill Validation

This qualification assessment tests the candidate's knowledge of Golang back-end development fundamentals. It's composed of Q&A and code challenges that evaluate the candidate theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills. Each challenge focuses on a subject area and covers concepts, features, and real-world situations.

A candidate is approved in this test if all challenge level cut-off scores at met.

Go Fundamentals

This challenge tests candidate skills with Go language fundamentals, including: channels, goroutines, concurrency patterns, error handling, web development, and best practices. It starts with conceptual questions and progresses to scenario-based problems, which evaluates the candidate's ability to use such concepts to solve real-world problems.

Go Debugging Challenge

This debugging challenge tests candidate ability to read and debug a small Go algorithm function. The candidate needs to recognize and fix an issue in the codebase.

Go Code Challenge

This intermediate-to-advanced challenge tests candidate's ability to work with arrays of objects, a typical data structure. They'll filter the array of objects and perform light date manipulation to determine which elements meet a specific condition.

3. Technical Interview

This assessment evaluates the candidate's expertise in Go through a real-time coding challenge. It's designed to be used as an interactive session with the technical screener. During the assessment, candidates will tackle a hands-on problem tailored to the core principles of Go back-end development. Their solution will be frist verified by a battery of automated test cases to ensure it meets the functional requirements as well as industry standards. Then, our experienced interviewers step in to assess the overall efficiency of the candidate's solution.

Go Code & Debugg Challenge

This intermediate-to-advanced challenge mixes characteristics of implementation and debugging challenges, by testing a candidate's ability to add a new functionality to a system and identify and fix issues with the existing codebase.
