Reviews
A genuinely useful tool! I quickly found a practice partner, we rehearsed typical questions and tough cases together. Prep was efficient and low-stress — and it ended with an offer! Huge thanks to the creators; the bot really helps build skills and confidence before interviews. Highly recommend! 🚀
Thank you 🙏 It really helped with prep and landing a job 🔥
An absolute gem! 🔥 Saved my interview prep. Studying alone is hard; with a partner it feels like a real interview. We drilled algorithms, debated architecture, and fixed each other's mistakes. I felt much calmer walking into the employer meeting. Result: offer received! If you're tired of prepping in a vacuum — try it! 🙌
Great bot! Helped me find a partner for IT interview prep. Studying together was far more effective, and I passed the interview and landed a job. Thank you ☺️
Interesting project! Connecting developers is exactly what we need right now.
A useful trainer for IT interview prep 🔥🤙
Awesome bot — great for finding practice partners. Recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most popular questions about the IT‑Career‑Gym platform
IT‑Career‑Gym is a platform for IT professionals and employers: it matches you with a partner for mutual mock interviews, offers quizzes on technologies and languages, a participant rating, and job and resume postings. It runs as two interfaces over shared data — the website and a Telegram bot.
You create a request: pick a direction (IT or a foreign language), a specialization, your own grade and the grade range for your partner. The system looks for a counterpart request that suits both sides and, once a pair is found, shows the contact in your account on the website (My subscriptions). You may also get an email or Telegram notification depending on your settings. You run the interview yourselves — time and format are up to you.
Click "Register" in the top menu, enter your name, email and password, and pick a role — specialist or employer. A confirmation code is sent to that address. You can also sign in with Telegram, in which case no password is needed.
No — Telegram is not required. Registration, partner search for mock interviews, vacancy matching, quizzes and the leaderboard all work on the website. When a pair or vacancy match is found, you see it in the header bell and in your account (My subscriptions, Match history). You can link Telegram in your profile for messenger alerts — it is optional.
The rating is the sum of points from quizzes, pet projects and matches. More practice moves you up. Reviews do not affect it.

FAQ
Price, Stepik vs our guide, signup, and what to do after a course.
The IT Career Gym guide on this site is free. The two architecture courses are on Stepik — price and access live there. On this platform you can open the list, find a mock partner, and take quizzes without buying a “course pack”.
The guide is how to run a paired mock: IT section, languages, a walkthrough checklist. Stepik hosts full courses on System Design and the C4 model. Different formats — we do not glue them into one “learning path”.
You can read the on-site guide and open Stepik without an account. Finding a mock partner or taking a quiz on IT Career Gym needs registration.
Do not leave it as a “read later” tab. Find a partner on the match page or run a quiz. System design sticks when you explain the diagram out loud.
Not yet — we do not draw empty cards for those roles. Security, FDE, and hiring are covered in the blog. If another real course appears, it will land in this list.

Forward Deployed Engineer
— Banking Platform
Ship it, then go sit with the people using it. · Charlotte, NC
Location Charlotte, NC — on-site at our headquarters, with travel to partner and client sites Experience Required 5+ years building and shipping production software, including meaningful time in financial services and hands-on experience building with Claude
Employment Type Full-time, exempt Reports To Technical Program Manager
Direct Reports None. You work across engineering, product, operations, and directly with external partners. Core Stack React, Flutter, AWS, GitHub Actions, Claude (Claude Code and the Claude API)
Portfolio Expected — see "Show Us Your Work" below
The Trade We're Offering
We're a smaller institution headquartered in a city full of very large ones, and we're not going to pretend we can match what the largest of them offer on every dimension.
What we're offering instead is scope that those jobs structurally cannot give you. At a large bank, this work is split across four teams — a mobile team, a web team, a platform team, and a client-facing integration group — and you'd own a lane in one of them. Here, the whole path from commit to customer is yours. You'll write the Flutter code, write the React code, own the pipeline that ships both, and then sit across the table from the people using what you built and watch where it breaks. Engineers who want that loop rarely get it at scale. If that's the job you've been trying to find, this is it. About the Role
We're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to build our banking platform and then take it into the field. This is a hybrid of product engineering and client-facing solutions work: roughly two-thirds building, one-third embedded with the partners, vendors, and internal teams who depend on what you ship.
The forward-deployed part is the point. Most engineering organizations put layers between the person who writes the code and the person who has to live with it, and quality suffers in both directions. You'll close that gap. When an integration fails at a partner, you're the one who diagnoses it — not a support tier that escalates to a queue that eventually reaches engineering three days later.
We also expect this person to be genuinely fluent with Claude — not as a novelty, but as core tooling. A small team competing against institutions a hundred times our size only works if each engineer's output is multiplied. You should already be building this way and be able to show us how.
You'll work closely with the Senior Product Manager who owns the banking portfolio, and you'll have real influence over technical direction. We have opinions but not much legacy, which means your architectural decisions will still be standing in five years. What You'll Own
Mobile Development — Flutter
Description 27
- Build and ship our customer-facing mobile banking application in Flutter across iOS and Android.
- Own the release process end to end — store submissions, staged rollouts, versioning, and the deprecation strategy for older clients.
- Handle the parts of mobile banking that are genuinely hard: biometric authentication, secure local storage, session handling, offline states, and deep links from notifications.
- Keep performance and app size honest on the low-end devices real customers actually carry.
Web Development — React
- Build customer-facing web banking experiences and the internal tooling our operations teams use daily.
- Share logic and design language across web and mobile so the two products don't quietly diverge.
- Build to accessibility standards — WCAG conformance is a regulatory expectation in consumer banking, not a nice-to-have.
Cloud Infrastructure — AWS
- Design, deploy, and operate services on AWS — compute, storage, networking, secrets, and identity.
- Own infrastructure as code so environments are reproducible and auditable rather than hand-assembled.
- Build for the availability and recovery expectations of a regulated financial institution, and be able to prove them to an examiner.
- Watch the bill. Cloud cost discipline matters more at our size than it does at a bank that can absorb the waste.
Delivery Engineering — GitHub Actions
- Own the CI/CD pipelines for web, mobile, and backend services.
- Build automated testing, security scanning, dependency checks, and deployment gates into the pipeline.
- Maintain the change controls and audit trail that a regulated environment requires — approvals, artifacts, and release evidence.
- Make shipping boring. A deployment should be an ordinary Tuesday, not an event.
AI-Assisted Engineering — Claude
- Use Claude Code as a daily part of how you build — across the codebase, in your IDE, and wired into CI where it earns its place.
- Hands-on experience building AI-powered product features with the Claude API. You know how to identify high-value use cases (document processing, support workflows, fraud and dispute triage, and internal operations) and build them into reliable production systems.
- Set the standard for how this team uses AI — what gets automated, what stays human, what gets reviewed before it merges, and what never touches customer data.
- Write and maintain evaluations for anything AI-driven that reaches production. In banking, "it seemed to work" is not a release criterion.
- Define the guardrails alongside Risk and Compliance: what data can go to a model, how outputs are logged and reviewed, and how we prove any of it to an examiner.
Forward Deployment & Integration
- Embed directly with partners, vendors, and internal business teams to deploy, integrate, and troubleshoot in their environment.
- Own integrations with core banking platforms, payment rails, and fintech APIs — from design through production support.
- Translate partner needs into implementation plans, building what they actually need (not necessarily what or how they asked).
- Bring what you learn in the field back into the roadmap. You'll see the friction before anyone else does, and you're expected to say so.
Security, Risk & Compliance
- Treat security as a design constraint, not a review stage — encryption in transit and at rest, least privilege, secrets management, secure SDLC.
- Partner with Risk and Compliance on architecture decisions, vendor assessments, and audit response.
- Build systems that produce the evidence an examiner will eventually ask for, before they ask for it.
What We're Looking For 11
Required
- 5+ years building and shipping production software, with real ownership of what you shipped after it launched.
- Financial services experience. You understand why a banking release is not a social app release — the regulatory constraints, the audit expectations, the consequences of a bad deploy touching real money.
- Production React experience — modern hooks-based code, state management, and performance work.
- Production Flutter experience shipping to both app stores, or strong native mobile experience plus a credible case that you'll pick up Flutter fast.
- Hands-on AWS: you've architected, deployed, and operated services there, not just consumed them.
- CI/CD ownership with GitHub Actions or a close equivalent (GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins) — you've built pipelines, not just used them.
- Deep, hands-on Claude experience. You use Claude Code as part of your normal workflow and you've built something real against the Claude API — not a weekend demo, but something with error handling, cost awareness, audit/observability capabilities, and a point of view about when the model should and shouldn't be trusted.
- Judgment about where AI helps and where it doesn't. We want the engineer who knows which problems to point a model at, and which ones to just write the code for.
- Client-facing ability. You can sit in a room with a partner's engineering team or a business stakeholder, absorb a vague problem, and leave with a clear scope.
- Exceptional attention to detail, communication, and documentation . You are precise in your work, clear and direct in how you communicate, and disciplined about documenting decisions, systems, and operational context — especially when working across engineering teams, clients, and partners.
- Comfort with ambiguity and thin process. You'll frequently be the person who decides how something gets done.
Nice to Have — Genuinely Optional 12
- Integration experience with core banking platforms (Fiserv, Jack Henry, FIS, Q2, Alkami, nCino) or payment rails (ACH, Zelle, RTP, FedNow, card networks).
- Fintech API work — Plaid, Marqeta, Stripe, Alloy, or similar.
- Backend depth in Node, Python, Go, Java, or Kotlin.
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation) and containerization.
- Familiarity with regulatory frameworks touching engineering — SOC 2, PCI DSS, GLBA, FFIEC guidance.
- Agentic patterns beyond chat — tool use, MCP servers, multi-step workflows, or the Claude Agent SDK.
- Running Claude models through Amazon Bedrock, which fits neatly with the AWS stack here.
- Experience writing evals, or any rigorous approach to measuring whether an AI feature actually works.
- Prior consulting, solutions engineering, or forward-deployed work at a software vendor.
If you meet most of the Required list, apply. The exact stack combination here is uncommon, and we'd rather teach a strong engineer one piece of it than wait for a perfect match who doesn't exist. Domain Expertise We Value

What We Can and Can't Offer
What You Get Here What You Won't Get Here
The full path from commit to customer, owned by one person Anywhere to hide when something you shipped breaks
Architectural decisions that will still be standing in five years A platform team that handles infrastructure so you don't have to
Direct contact with the people using what you build Insulation from customers when a deploy goes badly
Deploys in days, not release trains scheduled a quarter out A mature engineering organization with established process
Genuine influence on technical direction from your first month Deep specialization — you'll work across mobile, web, cloud, and AI
A mandate to define how a company uses AI, not to inherit someone's rules An existing AI platform team, or someone else's guardrails to inherit
Budget for conferences, certifications, and continued learning A remote or fully flexible arrangement — this role is on-site
Education
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
- No degree requirement we'll hold rigidly. Show us what you've shipped. Self-taught engineers with production track records are welcome here.
- AWS certifications are a plus and are not required.
Work Environment
On-site at our Charlotte headquarters, Monday through Friday, standard business hours. Expect periodic travel to partner and client sites — typically a few days at a time, several times a year. Banking platform work occasionally means an evening or a weekend around a release, a core conversion, or an incident. We run a real on-call rotation and we keep it humane. Show Us Your Work
We ask candidates for this role to share code. A resume tells us where you've been; a repository tells us how you think. Send us one or two repositories you've built — ideally something involving Claude, a mobile or web application, or infrastructure you're proud of. Personal projects, open-source contributions, and side work all count.
If your best work is proprietary, that is not a disqualifier. Most engineers coming out of financial services cannot share what they built, and we're not going to penalize you for honoring an agreement you signed. In that case, tell us and we'll substitute a walkthrough conversation — you talk us through the architecture of something you built, the trade-offs you made, and what you'd do differently. That serves the same purpose.
What we're looking for either way: how you structure a project, how you handle the unglamorous parts, whether the README exists, and — where Claude is involved — what you chose to delegate to it and what you kept for yourself. We are not grading polish. A rough repository with clear thinking beats a tidy one with none.
We will not ask you to complete an unpaid take-home assignment. Your existing work, plus a conversation about it, is enough. How to Apply
Send a resume, links to your repositories (or a note that your work is proprietary), and a short note about something you shipped and then had to support in the field: what broke, what you learned from the people using it, and what you changed as a result. That story tells us more than a stack list does. If invited to initial screening, we'll ask you to share a portfolio or a few examples of your work so we can get a better understanding of your experience and creative approach.

Vacancy matches
Filters → a search request → matching. We notify you when a job fits.
Sign in to create a vacancy search request. How matching works is explained below, no account needed.
How vacancy matching works
IT‑Career‑Gym looks for jobs against your request: role, stack, grade, work format and city. You can still browse the job catalogue — the request keeps working when an employer posts something new.
Applications send your base resume. The platform does not call HR for you: match, notification, vacancy card — you decide whether to apply.
Requests and notifications
Active requests live under My searches: pause them without dropping history. Matched jobs collect in a separate list — handy after a few notifications.
Email, Telegram, or both — pick a channel in your profile. While a search is running you may get a short reminder that the request is still on.

How to manage vacancy search requests
My searches holds your requests: role, stack, grade, format and city. Pause a request and the matched jobs stay in history.
A new filter set is built under vacancy matches. Each card shows whether search is running and how many jobs already fit.
When a request finds a job
Matched jobs open from the request card and also collect in match history. Applications send your base resume — the platform does not call HR for you.
Email, Telegram, or both — pick a channel in your profile. While a search is running you may get a short reminder that the request is still on.

Step-by-step partner matching for a practice IT or language interview
Чтобы создать заявку на поиск партнёра, войдите в аккаунт. Описание сервиса ниже доступно без регистрации.
Как работает подбор партнёра
IT‑Career‑Gym helps you find a partner for a practice interview: pick a track (IT or languages), specialization, your grade, and the grade range you want. The system searches website and Telegram requests and notifies you in the account bell when a pair is ready.
Собеседование вы проводите сами — в удобное время и в выбранном формате. Платформа нужна для мэтча, напоминаний и истории, а не для замены живого разговора.
Подписки и история
Активные заявки живут в разделе «Мои подписки»: их можно отключить, пока партнёр не найден. Грейд на карточке не меняется — новую заявку собирают в поиске. Прошедшие моки и отзывы о партнёрах собраны в «Истории».
Такой цикл — поиск, мэтч, практика, фиксация результата — помогает готовиться к реальному интервью без лишней бюрократии и с понятным следующим шагом.

Активные заявки на поиск партнёров по собеседованиям
Чтобы видеть и управлять заявками на поиск партнёра, войдите в аккаунт. Как устроены подписки — ниже, без регистрации.
Как управлять подписками на поиск партнёра
В «Моих подписках» хранятся заявки на поиск пары для мок-собеседования: специализация, свой грейд и диапазон грейда партнёра. Подписку можно поставить на паузу или удалить — грейд на карточке не редактируется.
Новую заявку с другими грейдами собирают в разделе поиска партнёра. Каждая карточка показывает, идёт ли поиск, и можно ли повторять уже найденных людей.
Когда подписка находит партнёра
Найденные люди открываются из карточки заявки. Прошедшие моки и отзывы живут в истории собеседований. Собеседование вы проводите сами — платформа нужна для мэтча и напоминаний.
Куда писать о мэтче — почта, Telegram или оба канала — настраивается в профиле. Пока подписка активна, можно получить короткое напоминание, что заявка ещё ищет пару.
Quizzes
Test your knowledge in the chosen sub-specialization: express, deep, and thematic formats.
29,590 questions across 1,499 sets in the bank — enough for lots of practice.
Чтобы пройти квиз или открыть историю попыток, войдите в аккаунт. Описание формата ниже доступно без регистрации.
Форматы квизов на IT‑Career‑Gym
На платформе можно проверить знания по Backend, Frontend, DevOps и другим специализациям. Экспресс — 5 вопросов, глубокий — 20, тематический — 15. Число вопросов вручную — только в расширенном режиме.
Экспресс подходит для разминки перед собеседованием, глубокий — для системной оценки, тематический — чтобы закрыть конкретный пробел. Сложность подстраивается по ходу: после верного ответа следующий вопрос сложнее. Часть вопросов — свободный текст. Результаты попадают в историю попыток и влияют на рейтинг.
Откройте экспресс, глубокий, тематический квиз или историю попыток. Расширенный режим на этой странице позволяет выбрать блок и число вопросов вручную (до 50). Рейтинг снижается, если копировать вопрос или уходить со страницы.
Daily challenges
Three tasks for today. Tomorrow a different set: quizzes, matches, resume, a pet project or a referral.
Почему стоит проходить челленджи каждый день?
Регулярная практика — ключ к IT‑собеседованиям. Каждый день три задания: квизы разных форматов, мэтч со специалистом или вакансией, резюме, пет-проект или реферал. Прогресс считается за реальные действия на платформе.
На IT‑Career‑Gym челленджи связаны с квизами, пет-проектами, мэтчами специалистов, мэтчами вакансий, резюме и рейтингом. Набор карточек меняется каждый день.
Частые вопросы
Что такое ежедневные челленджи в IT‑Career‑Gym?
Это три задания на сегодня: пройти квиз нужного формата, найти мэтч, откликнуться на вакансию, обновить резюме или пет-проект, подняться в рейтинге или отправить рефералку. Карточки меняются каждый день, прогресс идёт с реальных действий, а не с чеклиста.
Как заработать XP и удержать стрик?
Закройте карточки дня — за каждое задание начисляется бонус XP. Стрик растёт, если вы активны каждый день. Пропуск дня сбрасывает серию. Энергия списывается только за старт обычного квиза.
Нужно ли платить за челленджи?
Нет: задания бесплатны для специалистов. Super даёт безлимит энергии на квизы, но не прячет челленджи. У работодателей челленджей нет.

Plans for candidates
Reviews
An absolute gem! 🔥 Saved my interview prep. Studying alone is hard; with a partner it feels like a real interview. We drilled algorithms, debated architecture, and fixed each other's mistakes. I felt much calmer walking into the employer meeting. Result: offer received! If you're tired of prepping in a vacuum — try it! 🙌
A genuinely useful tool! I quickly found a practice partner, we rehearsed typical questions and tough cases together. Prep was efficient and low-stress — and it ended with an offer! Huge thanks to the creators; the bot really helps build skills and confidence before interviews. Highly recommend! 🚀
Great bot! Helped me find a partner for IT interview prep. Studying together was far more effective, and I passed the interview and landed a job. Thank you ☺️

Вопросы и разбор ответов — как на IT-собеседовании.
Чат доступен на тарифах кандидата от 499 ₽/мес. Страницу можно читать без подписки.
Текстовый мок: вопросы, разбор ответов и слабые места по вашему стеку.
Можно прикрепить файл резюме — в запрос уйдёт текст без email и Telegram.
Чем помогает ИИ‑ассистент
ИИ‑ассистент IT‑Career‑Gym — отдельная страница с чатом: Coach готовит к собеседованию, Resume Reviewer разбирает резюме под ATS, Career Path строит план обучения, Quiz Generator предлагает вопросы по слабым темам, Match Helper подсказывает партнёра для мока.
Ассистент опирается на ваш профиль, историю квизов и загруженное резюме. Ответы приходят структурированным markdown со списками и подсветкой кода. Это тренировка на платформе, а не замена живого интервью.
Как связан с квизами и мэтчами
На поиске партнёра есть тизер с переходом в режим Match Helper. В квизах кнопка «Спросить ИИ» открывает чат с темой. Разбор файла — со страницы резюме. Практику закрепите в ПЭТ‑проектах.
Доступ к чату — на тарифах кандидата от 499 ₽/мес (10 / 30 запросов в день или безлимит на год). Описание режимов на этой странице открыто всем, в том числе без регистрации.
Частые вопросы
Что умеет ИИ‑ассистент IT‑Career‑Gym?
Ассистент помогает готовиться к IT-собеседованию: генерирует вопросы и проводит текстовый мок, разбирает резюме под ATS, строит карьерный план, предлагает квизы по слабым темам и подсказывает, какого партнёра искать для мока.
Нужна ли платная подписка для ИИ‑ассистента?
Да: чат доступен на тарифах кандидата от 499 ₽/мес. На базовом тарифе страница открывается с описанием возможностей и предложением оформить план. Лимит запросов: 10 в день на месяц, 30 на квартал, безлимит на год.
Как ассистент связан с квизами и мэтчами?
Из квиза можно нажать «Спросить ИИ» — чат откроется с темой и форматом. В подборе партнёра тизер ведёт в режим Match Helper. Сгенерированные вопросы можно сразу продолжить в разделе квизов, а заявку на мэтч — подтвердить кнопкой в чате.
Безопасно ли загружать резюме в чат?
Файл обрабатывается на сервере платформы и не попадает в публичный каталог. В промпт к модели уходит текстовый фрагмент без email и Telegram. История диалогов видна только в вашем аккаунте.
На каких языках отвечает ассистент?
На языке вашего сообщения — русском или английском, как интерфейс IT‑Career‑Gym. Ответы структурированы: списки, заголовки и подсветка кода.
