Starling Bank - Frontend Engineer

Interview Experience
1

I interviewed for a Frontend Engineer role at Starling Bank and wanted to share the stages for anyone preparing:

  1. Recruiter Call – Initial conversation with a recruiter to discuss your experience, the role, and expectations.
  2. Take-Home Test – A coding task that involves integrating with an Open Banking API. It’s a good test of your API handling, async programming, and code structure.
  3. Technical Interview – A deeper dive into your take-home test, plus questions around system design, JavaScript/TypeScript, and frontend problem-solving.
  4. Cultural Fit Interview – Focused on values, communication, and team collaboration to assess how well you align with Starling’s culture.

Hope this helps anyone applying!
