I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Marqeta (Oakland, CA)
Interview
Marqeta’s software developer interview process includes a recruiter screen, a technical phone interview with live coding, and an optional take-home assignment. Final rounds involve a hiring manager interview, system design, coding, technical deep dives, and behavioral interviews. The process emphasizes technical skills, collaboration, and alignment with Marqeta’s values and mission.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me practical questions on Retool, focusing on how I’ve used it in real-world projects to build internal tools, connect APIs or databases, and automate business workflows. They were interested in how I designed UI components, handled dynamic logic, managed state, and integrated user roles for access control.
