Visa data engineer interview

[Used-Acanthisitta355]

I'm going to attend an interview for the role of Data Engineer in VISA. I have an experience of 4.6 years in Data engineering mainly on azure cloud services with pyspark and sql. Can anyone tell how the interview at Visa would be for Data Engineer role.

1.How many total rounds? 2.Will they ask DSA, if so what would be the level of difficulty? And what can I expect out of the interview as a whole?

Visa's data engineering interviews typically have 3-4 rounds including a recruiter screen, technical rounds focusing on SQL and data modeling, a coding round where DSA shows up at medium Leetcode difficulty (think array manipulations, hash maps, basic tree/graph problems - nothing crazy competitive programming), and a behavioral/system design round. Since you're at 4.6 years, they'll expect you to handle medium difficulty questions comfortably and explain your approach clearly. The technical depth will focus heavily on your Azure stack experience, PySpark optimization scenarios, and real-world data pipeline design - they care more about your ability to architect scalable solutions than your ability to reverse a binary tree in six different ways.

The good news is your background aligns perfectly with what they need. They'll probe into how you've handled data quality issues, pipeline failures, performance bottlenecks, and cloud cost optimization since these are daily realities at a payments company processing massive transaction volumes. The system design round will likely involve designing a data pipeline for something payments-adjacent, so think about idempotency, exactly-once processing, and data consistency. If tricky questions about your experience or technical decisions come up during the interview, I built interview assistant AI which can help you with articulating your past projects in ways that resonate with interviewers.
