Prove developer skill through real builds.

DevMarathon helps developers build real projects in 72-hour AI-assisted marathons, and helps organizations run structured hiring challenges based on real execution.

How DevMarathon works

One platform, two entry points: solo proof-of-work for developers and structured build challenges for teams.

Step 01

Start a 72-hour challenge

Choose the right path for a solo build or a structured hiring challenge.

Step 02

Build with AI-assisted guidance

Use planning, scaffolding, review, and refinement support while the builder still does the work.

Step 03

Submit and get scored

Turn completed work into a score and shareable execution signal.
