Plaid Software Engineer interview experience

Posted Jan 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My technical process started with two rounds of phone screening, with two interviewers in each round.

The questions were read aloud, and I coded in my own environment with screen sharing, and then I emailed my code afterward. Round one focused on detecting recurring transactions, and round two shifted into something more systems-y: an ACH netting engine designed to minimize transfers using a central bank concept. Overall, it felt like practical, multi-part work anchored in the Plaid domain rather than generic algorithm exercises.
