LeetCode for Backend Engineers
Algorithm puzzles only cover part of a backend interview. The rest is real systems - slow queries, race conditions, auth, reliability. The best way to practice that is on real broken services: fix an N+1 query, secure an API with JWT, stop a double-charge. HeyDevJob's Backend tickets are exactly that, and each fix becomes a portfolio piece.
