About BrokeeOur Story
Brokee was founded by a frustrated Cloud Engineer who was fed up with traditional hiring methods that didn't accurately assess a candidate's practical skills. Maksym Lushpenko decided to create a better solution for DevOps evaluation and qualification. He founded Brokee which provided the formula for hiring better candidates faster: live, broken environments.
While our team is distributed across countries and meetings are often conducted virtually, our passion for Brokee’s solution unites us.

What Sets Brokee Apart From Other Testing Platforms?
Unlike existing evaluations, Brokee's challenges resemble real issues that many system engineers have to deal with regularly.
All of Brokee's interactive tests are created by senior System Engineers who were sick and tired of evaluating take-home tests, wasting time interviewing unqualified candidates, and attempting to onboard incapable hires.
Every evaluation has been tested by a network of engineers who have felt it reflects the work they do on a regular basis.
When a website goes down, a great system engineer should possess a mix of practical skills, theory knowledge, and dedication to problem-solving to bring a website back to life.
Brokee actually tests engineers on this type of real-world problem!
