Busy Software Devs, AI Engineers, & Data Professionals...

Crack FAANG In 2026.

Brace for layoffs. Shoot your shot.
See how we got Francisco a role at Google, with our classes and 1-on-1 assistance that runs outside busy work hours 👇

What's With All The Hype?

Well, obviously the salaries are high.

But it's more that the growth potential is unmatched.

They start high, promote often, and can give over a 40% bump when they do.

More Than FAANG, It's Stability.


In 2025, we had nearly 250,000 tech layoffs.

As the market shifts unpredictably, one thing remains constant: your ability to interview is your leverage in the market.


Interview Skill Tiers

We've broken leverage down into 3 levels - which one fits you best?

Take this free quiz to find out your level

Level 1: Near Baseline

The thought of interviewing induces anxiety, and you know you wouldn't pass.

Tap to see details ▾
  • Highly vulnerable to layoffs.
  • Trapped in current role/salary.
  • High stress when job hunting.

Level 2: Average Engineer

You've done dedicated practice, and write code and architecture in your job.

Tap to see details ▾
  • Will struggle with most interviews.
  • FAANG and most startups out of reach.
  • Growth potential is capped.
  • Highly dependent on current role.
THE GOAL

Level 3: FAANG Ready

You're confident you'll crush the most difficult tech interviews out there.

Tap to see details ▾
  • Immunity to layoff panic.
  • Easily pivot to any role.
  • First choice for promotions.
  • Salary negotiation power.


Interview Skill = Leverage

We think the goal should really be to get FAANG-Ready, rather than to Crack FAANG.

Not necessarily so that you can work there - so you can work anywhere. And at the very least, work somewhere.

AI-ERA READY

Don't Let AI Automate You.
Automate AI.


The good news is, the elite are doing better than ever.

Engineers who thrive these days aren't being replaced. They're the ones building, deploying, and commanding AI systems.

The question is: which side of the divide will you be on?

"Okay, I get the point, and most of us know to study for interviews..."

The Spray & Pray Study Loop.

The typical approach to preparing goes something like this:

Study Cycle Curve
PHASE 1:

The Groove

You try a new strat with high hopes. "Finally, this is it".

PHASE 2

The Slip

Life gets busy. You skip one day, then two. Without a structured system, the momentum dies.

PHASE 3

The Reset

You realize you forgot things you've already learned. You feel frustrated, and start over.

We believe this approach is dated and inefficient.

Long Term Success = (Hard Work × Environment) / Ego

In the loop above, we're missing the crucial Environment step.

Environment is the multiplier for your hard work.

Hence, we created this...

"Just wrapped up the System Design Bootcamp... honestly, it exceeded every expectation I had going in. What really stood out wasn't just what was taught, but HOW it was taught. I've never seen system design concepts explained with this level of clarity... without ever feeling dumbed down."

"Before working with Greg and Algomap, I was not that confident. While doing many mock interviews with Greg and receiving his guidance, I was able to improve that part of the interview process. After that I landed many offers, among one of them which is Google, where I'm currently working."

Proven Methodology

Algomap’s
FAANG Accelerator™

Here's our proven, scientifically-backed method to get FAANG Ready:

1
Step 1 — Curriculum

A Single, Structured Pathway.

No switching tabs - complete our curated set of SOTA materials with proven results.

Tap for science →
Cognitive Load Theory (1988, Sweller)

When you have too many resources, you suffer from choice overload. By providing a single, curated set of materials, you eliminate ‘extraneous load’ - energy spent deciding what to study. This allows all of your mental bandwidth to go toward ‘germane load’ (learning the content).

2
Step 2 — Environment

Live Classes & Dedicated Community.

Attend live sessions in the evenings to ensure consistent improvement, alongside a like-minded group of engineers.

Tap for science →
The Hawthorne Effect (1955, Landsberger)

Consistency is rarely a matter of willpower - it’s a matter of environment. Humans perform better and stay committed when they know they are being observed by others. Live classes leverage synchronous learning, which studies show leads to higher completion rates, compared to self-paced courses.

3
Step 3 — Validation

Expert Guidance.

Execute regular 1 on 1s for accountability and elite performance.

Tap for science →
Deliberate Practice (1993, Ericsson)

Ericsson argued that expertise requires more than just repetition. It requires immediate, specific feedback. 1-on-1’s identify ‘micro-errors’ in your delivery that you cannot see for yourself, allowing for rapid course correction.

4
Step 4 — Mastery

FAANG Ready.

No more guessing when you're ready - it will be mutually agreed.

Tap for science →
Dunning-Kruger Effect (1999, Dunning & Kruger)

By having a mentor evaluate your skillset, you bypass overconfidence and imposter syndrome. It provides external validity, ensuring your performance matches your perception before you hit the real world (and potentially waste a great opportunity).

Step 1 — Curriculum

A Single, Structured Pathway

No switching tabs - complete our curated set of SOTA materials with proven results.


Structured Pathway

Jump right in: our state-of-the-art material for DSA, System Design, and AI can all be accessed on Day 1, or followed live in a continuous 3-part cycle.

It's always a great time to join and start learning right away.

Algomap Coding Interview Bootcamp (DSA)
↓
Algomap System Design Bootcamp

Algomap AI Bootcamp

All courses are independent, have no pre-requisites, and are for both beginners and the advanced.

Lots of our students were in FAANG before taking our courses, to further improve their skills.

We focus intensely on interview readiness, covering both deep theory and rigorous practice.

Along with the materials, there are assignments and assessments to supplement the teachings and ensure mastery.

Step 2 — Environment

Live Classes.

Attend live sessions in the evenings to ensure consistent improvement, alongside a like-minded group of engineers. Live Classes Drawing

Live aspects are optional but encouraged, everything can be done asynchronously.

Regardless of the live schedule, you can jump in and work on any material you wish right away (no need to wait).

Class Purpose Pre-requisites
Algomap Coding Interview Bootcamp DSA Live Class Theory and practice for any DSA / Leetcode-style interview. No pre-reqs, but basic coding might help. 90% pseudocode, 10% in Python, our recommendation.
Algomap System Design Bootcamp System Design Live Class Theory and practice for any System Design interview. No pre-reqs, but basic computer knowledge might help.
Algomap AI Bootcamp New! AI Live Class AI from Zero -> SOTA concepts like RAG and AI Agents. No pre-reqs, but math like vectors and matrices would help (although we do teach it).

Live Cohort Dates

Reminder: We always rotate live cohorts in a continuous cycle, and all material can be accessed right away.

Coding (DSA):
Jan 5 to Feb 27, 2026  •  Donovan DeVise (SWE at Capital One) 8 Weeks: Monday through Thursday at 7:30 to 8:45 pm ET.
System Design:
March 2 to March 26, 2026  •  Greg Hogg 4 Weeks: Monday through Thursday at 7:30 to 8:45 pm ET.
AI:
April 6 to April 30, 2026  •  Greg Hogg 4 Weeks: Monday through Thursday at 7:30 to 8:45 pm ET.
If you join near the beginning of a cohort...

You can likely catch up and follow along quickly with the current group.

If you join in the middle/end...

It's likely better to get ahead on material and assessments for the upcoming one.

It's always a great time to join, if one suggests otherwise, we'll call out this procrastination ;)

The Algomap Bootcamp FAQ

How are the classes structured?

All material and assessments can be accessed in advanced, regardless of the current live schedule. Group DSA, System Design and AI live classes run at a fixed time in the evenings (typicaly ~7:30 - 8:45 ET) in Google Meets - our upcoming live schedule is above. 1-on-1 sessions are typically held on Monday and Friday afternoons.

Are there any pre-requisites for the courses?

No.

Do you only help with FAANG?

No - although it's the most common objective we see and what we're best at. We train you for FAANG so that you're prepared for it, but if you're not quite ready for that yet, we'll help you with your stepping stones to get there as well.

Do you help with resumes, applying, referrals etc?

Absolutely - we even have current FAANG members come in to help you out with this stuff.

Do you help analysts, data engineers, ML engineers, AI engineers, etc?

Yes - DSA, System Design, and AI is almost always required for any such software heavy role, including the data and AI ones. We will cover the rest where applicable in the 1 on 1s (Greg has quite the ML and data background).

Do I get guaranteed placement?

Could a gym guarantee you a 6-pack? It depends on the person, obviously. No - we can't legally guarantee jobs. We've helped a lot of people reach their dreams though!

Does everyone get accepted into the program?

No. Our time is valuable and we will not waste it on those that we deem are a poor fit. We're serious about helping you achieve your objective, but our approach isn't going to work for all individuals.

How much does it cost?

Check the pricing table above.

I'm interested, but want to learn more first...

Book a call with our team, there's a button near the pricing table. If we keep cancelling your call, it most likely means you're not a good fit for the program.

Can I join in the middle of a live cohort?

Yes! Our curriculum operates on a continuous, rotating cycle. You can jump right into the current materials alongside the group, or comfortably get a head start on the foundational material for the upcoming topic.

I'm a beginner. Is this going to be too advanced for me?

Not at all. We meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're writing your first few lines of Python or architecting distributed systems at scale, the program is built for anyone demanding the highest standard of engineering rigor. We have complete beginners, and we even have students who are *already* working in FAANG joining to sharpen their skills!

I work a full-time job. Will I have time for this?

Absolutely. The program is designed heavily with working professionals in mind. Live classes typically run in the evenings (7:30 - 8:45 PM ET) to accommodate traditional work hours. Additionally, all core materials and assignments can be completed 100% asynchronously on your own schedule if you can't make the live sessions.
