Our approach

How Staffcoder works

Staffcoder focuses on hands-on engineering practice inside real frameworks like React, Django, and Node.js.

Each challenge simulates real-world development tasks — building features, debugging issues, and optimizing applications inside a full IDE environment.

Practice React, Django, and Node.js inside real project environments — not isolated algorithm puzzles.

Engineers improving real-world skills

Build and debug features in a full IDE the way you'd work on an actual product team.

Professionals preparing for engineering roles

Demonstrate real engineering ability with framework challenges that go beyond whiteboard questions.

Anyone moving from tutorials to real practice

Bridge the gap between learning and production code using a professional development environment.

The team

Who’s behind Staffcoder

Hi, I’m Shashank. I graduated from IIIT Hyderabad with a B.Tech and an MS in 2013.

For more than 13 years, I’ve worked extensively in competitive programming, coding contests, and software skills assessments, and I’ve designed thousands of coding assessments for companies including HackerRank. Before Staffcoder, I worked at HackerRank in Bangalore and at Expertlead in Berlin.

I built Staffcoder so developers can practice the work they actually do at their jobs, in a real IDE, instead of solving puzzles.
