The Design Round is a fully free curated structured content platform to prepare for SDE2 and Senior Software Engineer roles. It is optimised for maximum learning in limited time and comes in various sheet format like Arch25, Arch50 or MaCo30, MaCo60 to incrementally prepare and boost confidence for tech interviews.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Maker of The Design Round here.
A few months ago I was prepping for senior-level system design rounds and got tired of stitching together 40 tabs and half-finished docs. So I curated everything I wish had existed: one structured resource that covers both HLD and LLD at the depth these interviews actually demand.
A few things that surprised me while building it:
- The infra systems engineers use every day are the hardest to design from scratch
- Machine coding rounds test concurrency far more than design patterns
- Most resources stop at the diagram but interviewers probe what's inside the boxes
- You think you know Kafka… until someone asks about ISR replication under partition failure
So I built it differently: 103+ HLD problems, 103+ LLD problems, structured so you can feel interview-ready in 2-3 weeks instead of months. Start with the highest-ROI Arch25 or MaCo30 sheets, then expand only when you're ready.
Months to curate. Weeks to consume. Free forever, no paywall.
If you're targeting a senior or staff role, this is where I'd start. Would love your feedback and if you're prepping right now, tell me which sheet you'd open first. 🙏
