I applied online. I interviewed at Sygnum (Singapore) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interviewer was disinterested and sarcastic. She ended up contemptuously questioning our back-end security protocols for 20+ minutes. These in fact are very strict. At the end, the interviewer gave curt two-sentence responses to my questions.
I did make two factual mistakes under her sarcastic questioning; however, she made a mistake as well (contemptuously implying that encrypting API keys is stupid).
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
You “actually” encrypt your API keys? (said with derision)
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sygnum (Zürich) in May 2025
Interview
Easy algorithm question, casual talks. Everyone is a Senior Software Engineer but I did not see any senior. Teams are splitted by business streams and composed by mnay externals, and stack in Java and Nest.js. You will have a couple of rounds.
