Design a platform, similar to leetcode, which allows software engineers to prepare for coding interviews by answering coding questions and posting feedback on other users solutions. The platform should allow users with the correct permissions to be able to host coding competitions. The functional requirements are for a user to view a list of problems, view a specific problem, view specific coding solutions for that problem. The competitions also have their own functional requirements such as the ability to run and judge a user's code, and a live leaderboard and some metric for choosing who wins the competition. For non functional requirements, availability is of the most importance. Security when running the users code is also important. The competition needs to support 100k users and the live leaderboard should be give fresh results.
