Hiring Manager Screen: Project Deep Dive, Tech Debt & Money Movement

A remote, 30-minute conversation with the hiring manager for a Staff SWE role in the Cash App banking / money organization. It opens with a detailed walk through a single project that had outsized leverage, covering its impact, which parts you did yourself versus handed off to others, why that stack was chosen, latency and reliability, and cost. From there it moves to handling tech debt in legacy services that are roughly ten years old, the ways money movement can fail and how regulators get visibility into it, and finally which AI coding tools you rely on.
