Software Engineer Hiring Assignment

It's intended to mimic work you might do here, while giving us an understanding of your skills in:

• Coding
• User Experience

Tech and UX Project Instructions

As a front-end software engineer, you're asked to build a small prototype that — using the provided dataset — highlights the benefits of a great search experience and basic edition capabilities.

• Push the provided dataset to an Algolia index
• Using React InstantSearch (or another flavor of the InstantSearch library), implement an as-you-type search experience that enables users to easily find restaurants: both by passing a search query and/or filtering on the “type of cuisine”
• Allow users to delete restaurants from the Algolia index directly from the frontend application
• [bonus] Allow users to add restaurants into the Algolia index directly from the frontend application
• [bonus] Add the search state to the URL

Important Notes

• The dataset is available here.
• Feel free to use any tooling with which you’re most comfortable with, for example: create-react-app, https://codesandbox.io/ or https://glitch.com/ are definitely ok!

Deliverable

Once you're happy with what you've done

• Publish it using vercel, netlify, or any other service of your choice so we can interact with it
• Send us a link to your finished project's repo via email
• Follow at least the instructions above, but feel free to go beyond if you have ideas — wow us!

Happy coding!
