Interview Process:

1st Round: HireVue - Video Recording Interview


If shortlisted, candidates will be required to complete a video recording interview through HireVue, where they will answer
pre-recorded questions at their convenience.

2nd Round: Zoom Video Interview


A technical and panel interview conducted via Zoom. This round will assess the candidate's technical expertise and
suitability for the role through a detailed discussion and problem-solving scenarios.

Final Round: Onsite Interview


An onsite interview with the team and hiring manager (HM), where candidates will have the opportunity for more technical
and verbal interactions. This will include in-depth discussions on technical skills, practical scenarios, and how they align
with the team's objectives.
Here are some interview tips and sample questions that may help a candidate prepare for an interview, particularly for a
Blockchain Engineer role like the one at DTCC:

Interview Tips

1. Understand the Job Description: Make sure you are clear on the key responsibilities and qualifications. Tailor
your responses to highlight your relevant experience with blockchain technologies, smart contracts, and security
practices.
2. Know the Company: Research DTCC’s mission, values, products, and recent developments in blockchain
technology. Understanding the company's involvement in financial services will allow you to tailor your responses
to show that you are a good fit for their culture.
3. Review Blockchain Concepts: Make sure you understand the core concepts of blockchain, smart contracts, and
decentralized technologies. Be prepared to discuss your experience with platforms like Ethereum, and Solidity, and
how you apply security practices like smart contract auditing.
4. Demonstrate Problem-Solving Skills: Blockchain development often involves complex issues. Prepare to discuss
how you approach problem-solving, debugging, and troubleshooting within a blockchain environment.
5. Showcase Your Tools Knowledge: Be ready to talk about tools like Truffle, Hardhat, Foundry, and Remix that
you’ve used for smart contract development, as well as Slither, Mythril, and Echidna for Solidity security testing.
6. Discuss Security Awareness: Blockchain security is critical. Be prepared to discuss common vulnerabilities and
how you mitigate risks in smart contracts, especially in the context of decentralized finance.
7. Practice Behavioral Questions: Prepare for behavioral interview questions that test your ability to work in teams,
handle conflict, and manage projects. Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your
responses.
8. Prepare for Technical Challenges: You may be asked to solve coding problems or explain how you would
approach certain technical challenges. Brush up on common data structures, algorithms, and how they relate to
blockchain development.
9. Must have:
1. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related STEM field and/or equivalent experience.
2. Blockchain security practices and potential vulnerabilities.
3. Blockchain technology and associated Smart Contract capabilities.
4. Design, develop, test, and deploy Smart Contracts.
5. Experience with Solidity.
6. Solidity security testing tools like Slither, Mythril, Echidna.
7. Development background in sectors such as banking, finance, or trading, paired with a comprehensive
grasp of financial instruments and systems.
8. Scripting languages like JavaScript or Typescript.
9. Design, develop, test, and deploy smart contracts.

security vulnerability in a contract?
3. What are the main differences between Solidity and other smart contract languages (like Vyper)? Why
would you choose Solidity?
4. How do you test and debug smart contracts in development?
5. Can you explain what a reentrancy attack is and how to prevent it in a smart contract?

Tools & Technologies

cycle?
3. Can you give an example of a time when you had to choose between two blockchain frameworks or tools?
How did you make your decision?

Blockchain Security

1. What are the most common vulnerabilities in smart contracts, and how do you mitigate them?
2. Can you walk us through the process of auditing a smart contract for security risks?
3. What is the importance of gas optimization in smart contracts, and how do you go about optimizing for gas
costs?

JavaScript/Typescript & Integration

1. How would you integrate a smart contract with a frontend application using JavaScript or Typescript?
2. Can you describe a project where you integrated a blockchain solution with an existing web application?
What were the challenges you faced?
3. Have you ever worked on a blockchain project where you had to collaborate with backend developers? How
did you manage the integration of decentralized technologies?

solving it?
2. Describe a time when you had to debug a complex blockchain issue. How did you identify the root cause?
3. Imagine a scenario where a smart contract you deployed has been exploited. What steps would you take to
remedy the situation and prevent future attacks?

General and Behavioral Questions

1. How do you stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in blockchain technology?
2. What motivates you to work in the blockchain space, and what excites you about the future of blockchain
and smart contracts?
3. Describe a situation where you worked in a cross-functional team. How did you communicate technical
details to non-technical stakeholders?

Preparation for the Interview

• Prepare Examples: Think about specific projects you’ve worked on that align with the job description. Be ready to
explain the technical challenges and how you overcame them.
• Ask Questions: Prepare insightful questions to ask the interviewer, such as:
o "How does DTCC see blockchain technology evolving within the financial services industry?"
