Explain design decisions, not just implementations
Debug or reason through problems live using an IDE

Interviews will assess:

Does not formally lead teams but demonstrates informal technical leadership within the squad.

What a Senior Associate Is Not Expected to Do
Define enterprise wide architecture.
Own cross application platform strategy.
Lead major initiatives independently without senior oversight.
Represent DTCC as a technical authority externally.
Can you please brief me about the project or the team on high level?
These are multiyear modernization initiatives being executed under aggressive timelines, delivering both full-stack and backend-focused capabilities. From an Observability and Operational Readiness perspective, the focus is on ensuring production readiness for upcoming go-lives enabling monitoring, alerting, and resilience across React-based UI modernization, Spring Boot APIs, and Kafka-driven integrations. Efforts are aligned to standardization, scalability, and NFR compliance, with one critical application targeted for production rollout in August.

Prescreening Requirements :
