What is physical data integration?
Interviewers from Stripe's technical organization will ask this question to ensure that you know the difference between virtual and physical data integration. Knowing this difference and being able to implement physical data integration is a key component of this job. Candidates who can distinguish between these two are inherently more qualified and likely to be offered the position.
The in-person technical portion of the interview process at Stripe will occur after you have attended one or two screening interviews conducted by phone. You can anticipate that most questions during a technical interview will be technical or operational. The interviewers will want to dig deeper into your background to clearly understand your qualifications, knowledge, experience, and expertise. When responding to a technical or operational question, keep your answer brief and to the point, and be prepared for a follow-up question.
"Physical data integration is creating a new system that replicates data from several source systems. This process is done to manage the data independent of the original system, consolidate the data, and create a data set with different elements from those from the original sources. An example of this is a data warehouse."
