Software Engineer Interview Copilot Coding, design, and behavioral — one overlay.

1. 01

   Coding rounds — complexity-first hints

   When the interviewer drops a problem in CoderPad or HackerRank, InterviewLift reads the prompt, restates it, lists clarifying questions worth asking, then suggests an approach in plain English — time + space complexity stated up-front. You stay in control of typing the code; the copilot keeps you from coding before thinking.
2. 02

   System design — scaffolds calibrated to level

   A senior system-design answer is not "more boxes" than a mid-level one — it is different trade-offs. InterviewLift detects the level (L4 vs L5 vs L6) from the prompt and your earlier resume context, then suggests the appropriate scope: capacity estimation, API contract, datastore choice, cache strategy, and failure-mode reasoning.
3. 03

   Behavioral rounds — STAR prompts on demand

   The copilot keeps an indexed library of your real stories (uploaded from your resume during onboarding) and surfaces the best-fit STAR scaffold the moment the interviewer asks "tell me about a time when…". You speak; the copilot keeps the structure intact.
4. 04

   Editor-aware coding mode

   Recognises CoderPad, HackerRank, CodeSignal, LeetCode, Codility, and Karat. When the editor opens, the overlay switches to coding mode: AST-aware hints, complexity callouts, and runnable mental-model tests — without ever typing into the editor for you.
5. 05

   Recruiter screen + take-home support

   Recruiter screens leak more bombs than candidates expect ("what is your target comp?", "are you in any active loops?"). InterviewLift coaches the answer in real time. For take-homes, the resume context primes the copilot so your solution sounds like *your* code, not template code.
6. 06

   Onsite-loop mode

   During a 5-round onsite virtual, fatigue is the killer. The copilot tracks which competencies have already been covered, so by round 4 it surfaces what the panel still needs to see — leadership signal, conflict resolution, technical depth — rather than recycling the same story.
