Company GuidePrincipalSenior Staff Software Engineer · Last checked Nov 2026

Design carries E7. Recent loops hold a single coding round in the AI-enabled format and lean on two design rounds, each of which has to pass on its own. Public detail on E7 loops is limited, so confirm the round mix with your recruiter.

What the E7 Loop Weighs

  • Design that spans several systems and teams, with the long-term trade-offs stated plainly.
  • Two design rounds that each stand on their own, since a weak one is hard to offset.
  • Careful, verified work with the AI assistant in the one coding round.
  • Behavioral stories at the widest scope you have worked at, with results in numbers.
