# EasyEnv

**Technical hiring in real, production-like environments.** EasyEnv lets companies hire engineers by watching them work in a real environment: live and take-home interviews with real tools, real code and real infrastructure, from debugging and system design to DevOps challenges, with AI allowed as it is on the job.

Why it matters

## The problem EasyEnv solves

1

### CVs and puzzles do not show how people work

Most interviews test recall. EasyEnv tests the job itself: a broken service to debug, a pipeline to fix, a system to design.

2

### Every engineer now works with AI

The question is no longer whether candidates use AI, but how well. EasyEnv makes that visible instead of banning it.

3

### A bad hire costs months

Seeing someone ship in a realistic environment before an offer is far cheaper than finding out after.

### What it does

- Live and take-home interviews in isolated, production-like labs
- Coding, debugging, system design and real DevOps challenges per role
- A System Design Lab with a canvas, flows and official cloud icons
- Works with assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude through its MCP server

### How we built and run it

- Every candidate gets an isolated environment, created on demand and torn down after, on Kubernetes we run
- Infrastructure as code and CI/CD from day one, with changes shipped continuously
- Observability across many short-lived environments, so a broken lab is caught before a candidate sees it
- AI built into the product itself, run with the same discipline as the rest of the platform

What it shows

EasyEnv is the hardest kind of infrastructure we run: environments that must start fast, stay isolated and cost almost nothing when idle. It is where we learned most of what we now do for clients.

We build and run our own products the way we build and run yours: cloud infrastructure with AI, observability, careful service design and automation.
