I interviewed for a Frontend Engineer role at Starling Bank and wanted to share the stages for anyone preparing:
- Recruiter Call – Initial conversation with a recruiter to discuss your experience, the role, and expectations.
- 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.
- Technical Interview – A deeper dive into your take-home test, plus questions around system design, JavaScript/TypeScript, and frontend problem-solving.
- 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!
