Tasks go live: start building
Submissions closed
Shortlisted candidate interviews
Work on native and cross platform mobile apps, from first wireframe to Play Store. Ship real products alongside a team that reviews, iterates, and cares about UX.
Full stack web projects, marketing sites, dashboards, tools, and APIs. We care about performance, accessibility, and code that the next person can read.
Data pipelines, model training, evaluation, and deployment. Work on projects where machine learning meets a genuine use case, not just a notebook.
Choose either of these independent tracks. Both are optional. Pick the one that fits your interests and experience.
Create printable CAD models and a constrained mechanism assembly. Task 1 is required for shortlisting; Task 2 is optional bonus work.
Three hands on electronics tasks: a required sensor voting challenge, a second core task, and an optional KiCad bonus.
Build and demonstrate an autonomous TurtleBot patrol with obstacle avoidance and an emergency stop service.
Three concise challenges across cryptography, steganography, and binary exploitation.
Create a first impression for BYTE and design an original piece of campus merchandise.
Shape BYTE’s Algo Trading Sprint footage into a short, intentional vertical event recap.
A practical outreach simulation: write with precision, handle rejection and silence, and identify realistic sponsors.

Everything you need to know about the tasks and selection process.
Yes! You can attempt tasks for up to two departments if you are interested in multiple domains. Each submission will be evaluated independently by domain leads.
No prior experience required. Our starter tasks are designed to assess problem-solving mindset, curiosity, and execution rather than pre-existing mastery.
Join our Discord server and post in the #recruitment-help channel. Our domain leads and seniors are available to clarify requirements and unblock you.
We evaluate code quality, problem breakdown, creativity, edge-case thinking, and clean documentation. Finishing 80% with thoughtful architecture beats rushed completion.
Submissions are reviewed within a week after the deadline. Shortlisted candidates receive an invite for a brief walkthrough discussion with domain leads.
