Our take: The real work here is building resilient distributed backend systems for a bank that customers use every day, making data-informed calls amid ambiguity and across many teams.
You will build the backend of a bank that millions of people, probably including you and your friends, use every single day. The work is distributed systems written to stay resilient under real stakes, with room for ambiguity and support to learn the stack when you arrive.
