Question 4 of 10

Difficulty

A payment API gets the same request twice after the client times out. What prevents a double charge?

Return HTTP 409 on every second request
Store an idempotency key with the first result
Raise the client timeout to 60 seconds
Switch the endpoint from POST to PUT

Coding

Real code, real tests, then a real conversation about it.

Candidates write and run code in their language. It's checked against tests they can see and tests they can't. Then Rishi asks about the lines they wrote, which is hard to fake with copied code.

Integrity

Proctored, without being paranoid.

Cheating tools keep changing. Gradii combines camera, screen and behaviour signals, and leaves the call to your reviewers.

Face checks

A photo at the start, then checks for no face, a second face or a different person during the interview.

Screen and tab events

Tab switches, leaving full screen and extra monitors are logged with the time they happened.

Full recording

Video and screen are recorded so reviewers can see exactly what happened.

Your rules

Events are shown in context for your team. You choose the violation limit, and whether to auto-submit.

Every candidate is scored against the same criteria for the role.
