I am a Solutions Architect with over 10 years of experience in software engineering. I have worked with a variety of clients across an array of org structures. Everything from defense contracting to fresh startups. I have no qualms about automating myself out of a job.
In leadership roles, my responsibility is as much to meeting the client's needs as it is helping my team members grow in their careers. To help them take on new and exciting challenges while ensuring they have a healthy work-life balance.

Typically, in my experience, this is a smaller task or set of tasks and they expect you do perform live over the course of a few minutes to an hour. This was the first time I had -- had a code challenge that was not live and where the expected turnaround was approximately a week of development time.
