Could you build this?
Partial The ATS interface and candidate submission web app are simple CRUD workflows, but automatically cloning private client repos, generating sandboxed isolated developer environments, and creating deterministic test harnesses requires complex cloud sandbox infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The core requires building an ephemeral cloud dev environment orchestrator (using microVMs like Firecracker or Docker-in-Docker via Fly.io/Modal) coupled with a CLI tool. The system must run code intelligence passes over a client repository to isolate features into manageable 90-minute tasks, seed failing unit tests, and compute deterministic automated diff graders.
