Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en Revolut en jul 2025
Entrevista
3 technical rounds:
1 - live coding with emphasis on TDD, SOLID, and overall code and testing structure
2 - live coding with emphasis on financial domain and multithreading, both in code and sql, and discussion about various technical areas (DDD, scalability etc)
3 - system design interview
A great plus was that before each stage, there was a catch up call with the hiring manager, who explained and gave the scope of the following interview, as well as some tips, very valuable insights.
HR -> Live coding -> Tech -> System design
Overall the before starting the recruitment process it's worth mastering concurrency, DB(especially PostgresSQL), and transaction management. Company seems to be working mostly with Java, Kotlin and a little with Scala
I got contacted by a recruiter. As a first step, I had a call with another recruiter. He was also asking technical questions, but it felt strange. (A bit like talking to a wall.)
I was rejected with a generic message stating that I was not "aligned with the position". This is weird as it was inbound and based on my profile. No feedback, of course.
Waste of time.
Very kind. The questions weren’t easy, but with knowledge of database configurations, concurrency, locks, and some practical experience, you are able to answer them clearly, confidently, and effectively overall. It was good time.
