I applied through other source. I interviewed at Revolut (Dubai) in May 2026
Interview
The process has been along this lines, with a recruiter always available to guide me in all the steps. LinkedIn Reachout -> Screening Call -> Live Coding Interview -> System Design Interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Familiarity with patroni, write 2d grid inserting random items and handling edge cases, model a release pipeline from the high level (IDP and CI/CD) down to the low level details (VPC/LB)
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.
