What's new
Large features as they ship. The product moves fast — this is where to catch up.
- New feature
Software engineering roles are here — paste any SWE job description
- prepme now preps software engineers, not just DevOps. Paste a frontend, backend, full-stack, or mobile job description and we detect the track automatically — no settings, no separate product.
- A software briefing centers on the two rounds that decide SWE interviews: a coding round in the job's actual language (JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, or Python — half algorithmic fundamentals, half practical tasks from the role's daily work) and a whiteboard system-design round graded against a reference solution, with archetypes like rate limiters, checkout flows, and news feeds adapted to the company's real domain.
- The resume-based mock interview, application kit, CV tuning, and live company research all work on software briefings too. One subscription covers both tracks — nothing extra to buy.
- New feature
Hot DevOps Projects — see what the ecosystem is starring right now
- A new tab tracks the fastest-climbing DevOps projects on GitHub — across Kubernetes, IaC, observability, GitOps, networking and security — ranked by real 7-day momentum, not just all-time star counts. We snapshot each repo's stars and commit activity every day and rank by what's actually accelerating.
- Sort by momentum, today's spike, most stars, or most active, and filter to the stack you care about. It refreshes every morning, so you always walk into interviews knowing the tools people are talking about this week.
- The top climbers are free to browse. The full daily ranking is part of your Pro subscription.
- New feature
Prepping for one job? Unlock a single briefing for $7
- Not everyone needs a subscription. If you're preparing for one specific interview, you can now unlock everything on that one briefing for a single $7 payment — every hands-on lab, the design round and its reference solution, all six coding challenges, and the resume-based mock interview with follow-ups.
- It's a one-time payment. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel. The unlock stays with that briefing, so you can keep practicing it for as long as you're preparing.
- Still free to start: generating a briefing costs nothing, and your first round in every pillar is free. The $20/month plan is still there if you're prepping for several roles at once — it covers unlimited briefings.
- Launch
The Chrome extension is live — prep any LinkedIn job in one click
- Approved and published on the Chrome Web Store. Browse any job on LinkedIn and a small “Prep this job” pill appears — one click generates your full briefing for that exact role: labs, design round, coding challenges, and the rest.
- Uploaded a resume? The pill shows your skills-match score right on the job page — scored locally in your browser, so nothing about the job or your resume is sent anywhere until you click.
- Already prepped a job? The pill recognizes it and links straight to your briefing. After you send the application, “I applied” on the pill marks it applied on your dashboard too.
- New feature
Coding challenges — the scripting round, minus the leetcode
- Every briefing can now generate 6 practical scripting tasks tailored to the job — pull values out of a JSON manifest, summarize log lines, reconcile two configs — the kind of thing DevOps interviews actually ask you to write live.
- Each task gives you real input data and the exact expected output. Write your solution in bash or Python (your call), and an AI interviewer traces it against the input: correct output, idiomatic tool choice, edge cases handled.
- You get a 0–100 grade, specific feedback, and an idiomatic reference solution to compare against. No linked lists, no dynamic programming — just the scripting the job needs.
- You write in a real code editor — syntax highlighting for bash and Python, autocompletion, auto-indent, bracket matching — the same kind of pad you'd get in an actual live interview.
- New feature
Mark a briefing as applied — it cleans itself up
- Sent the application? Tick “I applied to this job” on the briefing header. The briefing shows an Applied badge on your dashboard and history so you always know which jobs you've already applied to.
- Pick what happens next: delete the briefing right away, in 1 week, or in 1 month — no manual cleanup. Unchecking before the deadline cancels the deletion.
- Housekeeping either way: every briefing is automatically deleted 6 months after it was created.
- New feature
CV tuning — beat the ATS screen without lying
- Most applications are filtered by keyword-matching software before a human ever reads them. One click now rewrites your resume for the exact job on your briefing — your real experience, reworded and reordered to mirror the posting's terminology.
- Nothing is ever invented: no new skills, employers, dates, or metrics. Every change is listed as a before/after you review, then you download a clean .docx ready to attach to the application.
- Your master resume stays untouched — each job gets its own tuned copy.
- New feature
Prep in the language you'll actually interview in
- We now detect the job's market from the posting and generate your prep in the local language — a Tel Aviv role preps in Hebrew, a Berlin role in German, with technical terms kept in English the way real interviews sound.
- Likely questions, the mock interview, design feedback, company research, and your cover letter all follow the job's market. Hands-on lab terminals stay in English.
- Pick a language before generating, or switch any briefing to another language with one click on the briefing header.
- New feature
A mock interviewer that grills your actual resume
- Upload your resume once and every briefing gets a behavioral round grounded in your real bullets — “Your resume says you cut deploy time 40% — walk me through exactly how.”
- Answers are graded 0–100 like a real interviewer, and a follow-up probe digs into your weakest area.
- New feature
Application kit: honest match score + tailored cover letter
- Your resume against the job description: an honest 0–100 match score, the gaps an interviewer will probe — each linked to the exact lab or design task on the briefing that closes it — resume tailoring edits, and a ready-to-send cover letter.
- Improvement
The design round is complete
- Whiteboard grades are now anchored to a reference solution you can study after your attempt, the interviewer pushes back with a follow-up you answer in-board, and your diagram replays exactly as you drew it when you return.
- Also new: six deep interview guides — Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, CI/CD, SRE, and Kubernetes troubleshooting.
- New feature
Company Coverage — walk in knowing the company
- One click runs live research on the employer in your job description: recent news, dated layoffs and risk flags, funding, culture signals, interview intel, and talking points to bring into the room — every claim with a cited source.
- Free on every briefing.
- Launch
prepme.io is live
- Paste a DevOps, SRE, or platform job description and get a personalized briefing: real Kubernetes and Terraform labs you break and fix in the browser, a graded whiteboard architecture round, and the questions that role will actually ask.
- Generating and viewing a briefing is free.
