Colloquio
I didn't particularly like the interview process. It started off with a meet and greet with a recruiter followed by an intro call with a high level member of the team. He was a pretty relaxed guy and I enjoyed talking to him. Next was the system design round. This round was pretty fun too. We went through a practical problem with minimized complexity and they asked to design the data model. The interesting thing I noticed is a very high focus on writing raw sql queries. I don't know many people in industry that know sql that intimately, but it seems like a strange thing to test since querying can just be done using google on the fly. The next interview was just an interview about my background and previous projects and once again I was asked a lot about my database experience. I was asked if I was asked specifically about the complex queries I had written, again a strange thing because I usually just lookup the raw query based on what I want to do and forget about it. It's rare that I remember all the times I did a specific crossjoin or groupby on my old team. The coding round came next and the interviewer really wanted me to do it independently without talking to him lmao. I received a doc from the company with an api key and organization id and was told to make a series of http requests. The tech part of this interview wasn't too bad but the api definitely expects you to assume a lot about specific treasury management terms. I spent a lot of time fidgeting around with figuring out what the data even meant and what I was supposed to do. Half way through the interview the interviewer asked me if I knew what these terms meant, and he began to explain what exactly the requests were looking for. I was able to complete the task after that in the last 20 minutes. Last interview was with a customer service manager about team collaboration and that was pretty casual conversation.

Basically use the modern treasury api to GET and POST things. Theres 5 or so requests you need to make in an hour so work on moving fast. They also want your code to be clean and modular so think about organization and how the operations fit together (class). Use whatever http library you can and format in json to parse. Super basic stuff in the coding round just move quickly.
System Design:
Something basic like design booking.com data model. They ask a lot about how you would query the data from your model so brush up on your raw sql

Colloquio
I was referred to Modern Treasury (MT) by a former colleague. The interview process started with a standard 30 min call with a recruiter who talked about the work and culture at MT, the leadership, the market opportunity etc. followed by some questions about my experience and interests.
This was followed by a 30 min technical discussion with the head of engineering which serves as the technical screen before heading into the virtual onsite.
The virtual onsite runs for about 4.5 hours and consists of 5 different interviews. The first interview was with a manager on the Customer Success team. We talked about my experience with cross-team collaboration as well how I handle customer escalations. The next interview was the coding round where I was asked to build an integration with the MT REST API. I appreciated being able to use my own dev environment and tooling for this interview. The interview starts out with a straightforward task and complexity is added you complete each part. The third interview was with the CTO and we had a technical discussion about past projects followed by any questions I had for him. The fourth round was the systems design interview. This was a fairly standard problem with a strong focus on data modeling and structured queries for different scenarios given the model. The fifth and final interview was with the CEO. This was a fairly casual conversation around my motivations to join MT and any questions I had for him
Overall, I enjoyed the process and I especially appreciated being able to speak with 2 out of 3 founders. I also really liked that I didn't have to "grind leetcode" to have any hope of passing.
They move quickly and are mindful of other offer deadlines. They are also very understanding and flexible about any prior commitments.

Colloquio
Overall I thought the process was very organized and smooth
I had an initial chat with the head of engineering after which I had an onsite
The onsite had 5 rounds in total, 1 coding and 1 system design round and 3 non-technical rounds (where I spoke with two of the founders)
Everyone was super friendly and smart, I enjoyed the process overall

They gave me some API entry points for fetching data for the coding round, and asked me a fairly standard system design question for the system design round
