Launch Your
Cloud Career
Bridge the gap between tutorials and the real world.
Get realistic Client Briefs, build your portfolio, and land your first cloud engineering role.
Deploy Anywhere
The Operative Workflow
From requirement gathering to final delivery. Master the full lifecycle.
Analyze The Brief
Receive detailed mission specs including budget constraints, legacy stack requirements, and security compliance needs.
Negotiate Requirements
The client doesn't know what they want. It's your job to find out. Chat with AI stakeholders to clarify scope before you build.
Submit Solution
Upload your architectural diagrams and IaC code. Get graded on cost-efficiency, security, and scalability.
FinTech Migration
Migrate legacy monolith to microservices while maintaining PCI-DSS compliance.
Why Engineers Join Valid
More than just coding challenges. This is a full flight simulator for your engineering career.
Practice soft skills with simulated clients who have unique personalities, confusing requirements, and changing demands.
Start as a Junior Operative and unlock Senior-level briefs as you gain XP. Prove your growth over time.
See how your solutions stack up against other engineers. Compete for the top spot on efficiency and quality.
Every submission generates a clean, shareable case study page. Perfect for linking on your resume or LinkedIn.
How It Works
The fastest way to go from "Hello World" to Hired.
Incoming realistic client request. Parsed requirements, budget constraints, and legacy systems included.
Design your solution. Navigate real-world constraints (Budget, Legacy Systems) and implement the MVP.
Submit your work. The community and 'Senior Engineers' will review your code and architecture decisions.
Prepare For Roles At
Master the architectural complexity required by top engineering teams.
"Move beyond passive video tutorials. The platform forces you to read documentation, understand trade-offs, and implement independent solutions."
"Simulate the chaos of a real on-call incident without the actual risk. Experience 'breaking prod' and fixing it in a controlled environment."
