      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bitfinex in Mar 2025

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bitfinex in Sept 2023

      Interview

      The interview process included an initial HR interview, followed by a programming challenge and two technical interviews. The process was well-organized, and the programming challenge was interesting. It provided a good insight into the company's culture and technology.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions were based on knowledge of NodeJs and computer science in general. One of the questions asked was, 'How would you efficiently calculate the square root of each element in a very large array?'
      Answer question

      Interview

      1. Initial call with recruiter 2. Task assignment to finish within 8 hours. After the task assignment I contacted recruiter 2 times, but engineer team did not bother to check my task assignment. I have finished the task beginning of March. Finally, May 15, sending automatic rejection with the not-so-clever reasoning 'Unfortunately the task was completed using Typescript, rather than Javascript as highlighted in the task requirements'. The funny thing is I removed them from collaborations list on git. Not sure how they were able to check my code.

      Question 1

      Just search P2P distributed exchange using Grenache framework, bitfinex grenache task, bitfinex p2p exchange, you will find plenty of implementations of their task assignment.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Bitfinex

      Interview

      Summary: Do not apply here. They seem to have no idea what they're doing. The recruiter would never provide feedback. Only agree to do their assessment if they'll pay you for time spent on it. They have ZERO respect for potential candidates. For the technical Assessment, I was then given a backend assessment to work on. The assessment was POORLY described, it used their internal tooling that had almost no documentation, and you're required to build a distributed order matching platform in 8 hours. After completing the assessment, the recruiter in charge completely ghosted. They stopped replying their emails and never gave feedback for the assessment. Having a candidate spend 8 hours on a task and not having the dignity to provide proper feedback is a very huge red flag and a sign there's so much disarray in the company and they have no business running an organisation. Looks like toxicity. I would not recommend.
