I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut in Jun 2024
Interview
Five rounds, HR (with some basic technical questions), live coding, live coding + technical conversation, system design, team fit. The process was relatively straightforward with prompt feedback between rounds and information regarding what to expect in the next round from the recruiter.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Basic technical questions (time complexity of hashmap get, how to achieve concurrency, sharding vs replication etc)
Live coding exercise with focus on perfomance and concurrency and testing (bonus for using tdd). Three requirements, you only move to the next requirement if you complete the previous one.
Live coding exercise to implement money transfer between accounts, focus on perfomance and concurrency, discussion on how testing would be implemented. In-depth discussion about database transactions, indexing, query optimisation, isolation levels, optimistic/pessimistic locking, distributed transactions, stability patterns, ddd, etc

Recruiter round, they’re basically looking for buzz words. They asked for my experiences in handling different scenarios, then other db and concurrent related questions . Overall it was straightforward, just go through other’s experiences here and you should be covered

HR interview, coding interview, then system design interview. No specific feedback from them. I really thought I went well and answered everything at least reasonably, but didn't get an offer.
