It was a very long process consisting of several HR interviews, technical interview, architecture interview, a couple of interviews with senior management and a couple of interviews with team managers.

Marqeta is equal opportunity priding themselves on their inclusive work force - unless you are a straight white middle aged male. After a fairly grueling interview process in which I did quite well I was told I had the job. The last task I performed was to fill out their online demographics form. The next day I was told by the HR person I had been working with that a senior female VP that I had never even spoken to had decided I was 'not a good fit' for the company.
