Perguntas de entrevista [1]
Pergunta 1
1.
Short introduction from my side and the recruiters side as well. Suddenly he switched to tech questions like: What is DDD, CQRS, ACID, SOLID, Concurrency, locking.
He asked me about my experiences and how I assure code testability overall.
2.
For the coding challenge you need to have an IDE open with a new project. The interviewer sends the requirements via chat and you need to start coding the solution right away.
The requirements are easy overall but you need to take care about coding speed, maintainability, testability (solid principles) and write unit tests for the given scenarios to assure code quality. It is not an easy task to do it right so you need full focus to pass.
3.
This round was unfortunately the last one for me though I really liked the whole interview process at Revolut. I was prepared for Solidity coding and smart contract deployment and testing but it was not necessary at all. The interview was 100% theoretical and blockchain related. They asked about cryptocurrencies, what is a cryptocurrency? What is oraclization? Smart contract testing and decentralised application testing, consensus algorithms, Ethereum 2.0 - Proof of stake. How would you design a backend service to communicate with a smart contract, what would be the architecture?
The interview was very intensive with a lot of technical questions regarding blockchain and if you are not certain with even only 1 or 2 of your answers you won't pass. (Thats what happened to me) You need to be 100% certain and have very deep understanding about everything related to blockchain technologies and development.

Entrevista
The experience was disappointing and reflected a lack of professionalism.
The interaction gave the impression of a disorganised or potentially unhealthy work culture.
Answered most of the questions accurately and to the best of my ability.
The interview was initially scheduled for a short time slot. Toward the end, the interviewer asked for my availability and indicated that they would schedule a follow-up session to continue the discussion. However, no further communication or follow-up was received.

Entrevista
During the initial HR screening call, the recruiter explicitly stated that Revolut was not hiring for a specific team and that team fit would be determined only after the coding and system design stages.
However, after passing the screening, I received the following rejection message: “After carefully reviewing your experience, we've decided to move forward with candidates whose profiles more closely align with the specific requirements of the role. Please note that this decision is based on current team needs.”
This creates a clear inconsistency in the communication. If team allocation and specific requirements were to be evaluated only in later technical rounds, a rejection citing “current team needs” right after screening appears contradictory. Such practices can lead to candidates investing time in the interview process based on incomplete or misleading information at the early stage.

I interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer (Java) role.
The process was structured and fairly fast-paced: recruiter/screening conversation, technical discussions (coding and system design) focused on backend engineering and distributed systems, and a final manager/team-fit stage. Communication from recruiting was clear, and timelines were shared proactively. Overall, the process felt rigorous but very professional
