Truemed Interview Repo

Senior Engineer

This project is meant to assess your ability to perform at a senior level at Truemed. Specifically, we expect senior developers to own large projects from end-to-end, even if some pieces are outside of your expertise. This often involves some research & planning before jumping straight to implementation (and course-correcting as you come across new information).

Constraints

• Please don’t spend more than 3 hours on this project. We expect a barely-functional Proof-of-Concept and a write-up of next steps.

Goal

Your mission is to implement the Truemed payment method on this checkout page. Your priorities are:

P0 (most important):

• Get a Proof-of-Concept UX in place (redirect to Truemed for payment capture when a user presses the "Pay with HSA / FSA" button)

P1 (nice-to-have):

• Document next steps to improve the implementation

Out of Scope (don't do these, not even as a bonus):

• Any improvements to the store whatsoever
• Anything that requires a Django migration
• Order-confirmation logic

How can I get started with the Truemed API?

• Truemed developer docs
  • use https://dev-api.truemed.com as the base URL for our sandbox environment
• You should have an email with sandbox credentials

Getting Started

• Create a personal, private fork of this repository
• Clone it locally
• Get the frontend & backend running (see readme files in each folder)

Submission

It's important to make sure your submission is only visible to people with collaborator access to your private repo. Do not make a pull request against our main repository. Instead:

• Create a new branch (from your private fork's main branch) with your changes
• Create a Pull Request against your own fork's main branch
• Add [email protected] as an outside collaborator and email him a link to your Pull Request.
