Software engineers build the systems your business runs on. Not landing pages. Not WordPress plugins. Production systems that need to handle real traffic, real data, and real edge cases. We put candidates through multi-hour coding assessments because a 30-minute quiz doesn't tell you anything useful about how someone writes production code.
