The Andela Standard: Network Entrance Assessments

Python Engineers play a key role in designing, developing, and maintaining scalable back-end applications using Python. Collaborating across teams, they ensure the effective integration of back-end components, optimize application performance, and address complex challenges in back-end development. Successful candidates exhibit proficiency in Python, demonstrate a deep understanding of back-end architecture, and showcase problem-solving skills in dynamic software environments.

1. Qualifications

Qualification criteria:

  • A minimum of 4 years of professional experience in a Python Backend Engineer 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.
  • Proficient in Python with a solid understanding of backend development principles.
  • Hands-on experience with backend technologies, including database management systems, server-side frameworks, and familiarity with API development.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a results-oriented mindset in the realm of backend engineering.
  • A commitment to continuous learning and adapting to evolving technologies in the Python backend development domain.
  • A collaborative and team-oriented approach to backend engineering projects.

2. Skill Validation

This qualification assessment tests the candidate's knowledge of Python Back-end development fundamentals. It's composed of Q&A and code challenges that evaluate the candidate's theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills. A candidate is approved in this test if all challenge level cut-off scores at met.

Python Fundamentals

This challenge tests candidate familiarity with Python and should be suitable for mid-to-senior candidates. Most questions are derived from the Python docs and some inspired by frequent Python interview questions.

Python Code Challenge

The first challenge of this assessment involves writing a configuration file parser. Candidates will write a clean solution to do a configuration-parsing task using a built-in library.

The second challenge objective is to determine which website is the most popular in a directory of HTML files using the PageRank algorithm. This challenge exercises candidate comfort with reading documentation and using a few important Python libraries and modules they may not be familiar with.

3. Technical Interview

This assessment is designed to test your practical knowledge of backend development using Python. Candidates who pass this challenge can work with Python to implement backend web applications.

During the assessment, candidates will tackle a hands-on problem tailored to real-world scenario in Python development. Their solution will be first verified by a battery of automated test cases to ensure it meets the functional requirements as well as industry standards. Then, our experienced interviewer' will step in to assess the overall efficiency of the candidate's solution.

Assessment Outline:

  • Python Coding Challenge (Option 1):
    • This is an intermediate-to-advanced-level problem that asks a candidate to write a few small functions to manipulate a zip file programmatically. This challenge tests the candidate's ability to manipulate zip files programmatically, or to quickly ramp up and research how to achieve the desired result. There shouldn't be too much code to write, but research skills are tested.
  • Python Coding Challenge (Option 2):
    • This is an intermediate-to-advanced-level problem that evaluates the candidate's competency to Write a configuration file parser. This challenge tests the candidate's ability to write a clean solution to a configuration-parsing task using a built-in library.
