I applied online. I interviewed at Tether.to (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Dec 2024
Interview
HR screening interview with a polite and friendly representative. I was given a home assignment with an 8-hour deadline (quite excessive for a job-related assignment, in my opinion). The task itself was pretty large, but I completed everything requested within about an hour. A few days later, I received feedback alleging I had missed a specific requirement—sorting something—even though the API they asked me to use already sorts by default. Either the instructions were unclear, or someone there doesn't value candidates' time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The Tether Challenge involves building a cryptocurrency data pipeline using JavaScript, Hyperswarm RPC, and Hypercore. It requires fetching price data for the top 5 cryptocurrencies (against USDt) from CoinGecko, calculating the average price from the top 3 exchanges, and handling data quality issues while minimizing storage requirements. The data must be stored using Hypercore/Hyperbee databases and be accessible via Hyperswarm RPC with methods for fetching latest and historical prices. A scheduling mechanism should automate the pipeline every 30 seconds, with on-demand execution also supported. The task emphasizes functionality over completeness within a 6–8 hour timeframe.
