I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at PayFit in Dec 2024
Interview
The process is pretty standard: 1. HR screen (30-45mn), 2. Engineering manager of the hiring team (45mn), 3. Live coding (1h30), 4. System design (1h30), 5. VP
The live coding was TDD style and the interviewers prefer idiomatic TypeScript. The system interview was broad and oriented towards DDD and event driven architecture.
The process was very fast and took slightly longer than a month, with the Christmas break in-between. After every step, I had a call with the same HR person and/or got an email with detailed feedback.
Unfortunately, I did not perform well in the System Design interview and chose to withdraw from the process as I could not reach the seniority level I wanted anymore.
Overall, one of the best interview process I experienced.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PayFit (Barcelona)
Interview
Muy buena experiencia y persona entrevistadora muy empatica. En el momento de entrevistar no me sentí obligado a responder sino que estaba muy cómodo. Fue por videollamada por lo que pudimos encontrar una fecha y hora que nos fuese bien a ambos.

Question 1
Me preguntaron por mi vida, experiencias previas, si tenia algun conocimiento en el sector... Pero todo por curiosidad ya que solo lo valoraban positivamente.
The process took less than 3 weeks and was a combination of technical and product interviews. It was very organized and interesting overall and I had quick updates and feedbacks after each interview as well as tips for the next interviews.
