  Coding, AI-Assisted Coding, System Design and a Bar RaiserAirwallex · Backend Engineer · Onsite · Sep 2026

  I went through the loop for a Software Engineer II backend position at Airwallex in Singapore. In total there were four interview rounds, plus one extra HR conversation where we talked about which team I'd want to land in. The four rounds were a coding interview, an AI-assisted coding interview, a system design interview, and a final Bar Raiser. The coding round gave me a dynamic programming prob…

  Real-Time Robot-Chase System Design, Then a Rejection with No FeedbackAirwallex · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Sep 2026

  Rejected

  It was a direct two-round company screen — coding plus system design — and if you pass, the next step is the hiring manager round. The interviewer was based in China, so we could only schedule evening slots. The team is a new one in Seattle building a productivity tool. System Design — a real-time robot-chase mini-game The problem: the player moves around on a 500×500 terrain grid, and different-…

  A Sunday Night System Design Screen Where the Interviewer Just Went SilentAirwallex · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Aug 2026

  This is an Australian payments company. Their dev team is mainly based in Singapore. When HR reached out, they picked a really late time slot to schedule things. Then for the phone screen, they booked me in for the system design round on Sunday night at 9pm. HR told me they use Whimsical for the whiteboard. But then it turned out the interviewer's team doesn't actually have a fixed whiteboard too…

  Airwallex Pty Software Engineer Interview Experience: CTO database-modeling pivot after positive signalsAirwallex Pty · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Aug 2026

  Rejected

  I went through an intense sequence that ended in a final-round rejection. After a recruiter call, I had live coding, a system-design round, and behavioral questions. The difficulty felt average until then. The final CTO round was what threw me off. He repeated questions that had already been covered in a behavioral conversation with a senior director, then concluded that I was not a good fit. He…

  Airwallex Pty Software Engineer interview experience: unclear role fit and rejectionAirwallex Pty · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Aug 2026

  Rejected

  The recruiter stage is what I remember most, and it set a poor tone. After the HR conversation, there was back-and-forth about the roles and where my background might fit, but I never got a clear picture of what I was actually being considered for. Instead of entering a full interview loop, I received a rejection email saying I was not selected for either role we had discussed. Another experience…

  Airwallex Software Engineer Interview Experience: CTO rejection after full loopAirwallex · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Aug 2026

  Rejected

  I completed the full Software Engineer loop, which ended with the CTO. After the recruiter conversation, I had live coding, system design, and behavioral rounds. They were standard and aligned with the role. The CTO round did not feel like a fresh evaluation. He repeated many of the questions that had come up earlier with a senior director in the behavioral discussion. Along with lower-level tech…

  Airwallex Software Engineer Interview Experience: HR discussed a second role before rejecting bothAirwallex · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Aug 2026

  Rejected

  My process with Airwallex was straightforward until the HR call. The HR interviewer asked about my background and said that, based on what I shared, another role might suit the team better. We discussed that opportunity and went back and forth enough that it felt as though things were moving. Then it ended quickly. I received a rejection email saying I was not selected for either role we had disc…

  SQL Metrics and a KYC Conversion CaseAirwallex · Data Scientist · Technical Screen · Aug 2026

  I recently interviewed for a Data Scientist role at Airwallex and wanted to contribute my interview experience. Overall, it was SQL plus a case study. The questions themselves were not especially hard, but the pace was fairly fast, and the case placed more weight on product sense and analytical thinking. First part: SQL They gave me three tables, roughly sessions, signup, and merchant. I remember…

  Five Rounds, Rejected After the HM RoundAirwallex · Staff Data Scientist · Senior+ · Onsite · Oct 2025

  Rejected

  The whole loop was five rounds, and every round felt like leveling up to fight a bigger boss. Round 1: SQL + case The SQL was basically similar to a post I'd seen before — there were some variations in the questions, but the type of question was the same. After the SQL there was a case. The case gives you a credit card approval rate time series from Jan 2013 to Jan 2015. There's a dip in Feb 2013…

  Passed Two Case Rounds, Lost at the HM RoundAirwallex · Data Scientist · Senior+ · Onsite · Oct 2025

  Rejected

  The whole loop was 5 rounds, and each round felt like beating a boss to level up. Round 1: SQL + case The SQL part was basically very similar to another post I've seen on the forum — there were some variations on the questions, but the topics were the same. After the SQL, there was a case. They gave me a credit card approval rate time series from Jan 2013 to Jan 2015. There was a dip in Feb 2013,…
