Question 31 of 33

This role requires a rudimentary understanding of coding basics. What programming languages would you say you're most familiar with?

While this question gives your interviewer insight into the diversity of your programming language experience, they most importantly want to know that you are adaptable and can learn on the fly if needed. Do as much research into Plaid as you can before your interview so that you can speak about the specific languages they work with. Before your interview, you might even spend some time perusing the Open API spec and client libraries that Plaid offers. You'll find client libraries in Java, Ruby, Python, Node, and Go.

      1st Answer Example

      "In my university experience as a software engineering major, I spent the most time learning Java, JavaScript, and C++ through various projects. My current role has me working primarily with Java, but I pride myself on my ability and passion for learning new programming languages and would be able to do so if hired for this role with Plaid."

      2nd Answer Example

      "During my training to be an engineer and then in my current role since graduating, a majority of my experience falls within Python. My current role focuses most heavily on artificial intelligence, and Python is awesome with this advanced technology. As I understand it from talking to another engineer here at Plaid, I may need to learn Ruby to be successful in this specific role. Though I haven't worked directly with Ruby, I believe my experience and willingness to learn would have me up and running in no time if hired for this role."
