about this event
About the challenge
This isn't a hobby hackathon. It's how Zoftware is hiring right now for backend and AI roles, run as a 12 hour build sprint instead of a stack of interview rounds. If you've been doing this long enough to have real opinions about architecture, and you're genuinely looking for your next role, this is built for you.
Who this is for
This is strictly for experienced engineers. We're asking for 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, with real hands on work building with LLMs, agents, or RAG pipelines, production systems or serious personal projects, not a weekend tutorial. This is not a beginner hackathon and we're not running it like one. If you're earlier in your career, hold off and wait for something built for that stage, we'd rather you not burn a Saturday/Sunday here.
The challenge: Hyper Personalised Focus 500
Build a region based software discovery feed. Think of it as a Focus 500 list, except one that can be scoped down to a single region or even a sub region, India narrowed to Delhi, for example. We'll hand you 2 to 3 launch regions to start with: UAE, India, and Global.
