Senior technical interviews in financial services are heavily weighted toward system design and architecture, with lighter, practical coding (fewer algorithms, more real-world scenarios). Cloud knowledge (AWS/Azure) is important but usually tested through hands-on use cases and trade-offs, not trivia-level depth. Hands-on experience matters far more than certifications. The certs help, but they won’t replace real production ownership. This is based on 2 interviews in the last 4 months, so definitely interested to hear what others experienced.
System design matters more than heavy coding for senior roles. Cloud knowledge is tested at an architecture and decision level, not trivia. Certifications help, but real hands on experience carries the most weight.
I interviewed for one of the automotive companies where they scheduled a big interview loop with 2 coding, 1 system design and 1 technical expertise rounds for the senior platform engineer role. The difficulty was medium with coding being asked from leetcode tagged ones and also system design using AI assistance. Technical round was more of discussion related to the work experience put in the resume mostly on kubernetes and AI emphasis. But the loop was really exhausting. I’d say the weightage was more considered on system design and the ability to design it with failure modes in consideration.
