Litmus: YC-backed async technical assessments using real company repos and workflows

Litmus is a Y Combinator-backed startup offering an async technical assessment platform for engineering hiring. Instead of traditional whiteboard interviews, candidates work on real-world tasks derived from the company's own repos, tickets, and job descriptions in their own development environment. The platform tracks both process and output, aiming to solve the problem of hires who struggle to ship independently or rely on AI-generated code they can't explain.
