HireSetu's note

Two languages on one ticket

The experience list names Java 17 and React, and at this level you get a slice of a service or a screen, not a whole system. Assume both languages show up in your sprint. Pick the one you're stronger in, but a blank on the other is hard to hide.

Oracle and Postgres appear alongside them, so plain SQL matters: joins, indexes, reading a query plan when something is slow.

The pull request is the unit of work

Gitflow, peer review, Sonar, Zally and Checkmarx all get named. The feature running on your laptop is the halfway point. Work counts as finished once the branch clears the quality gates and a senior engineer has read it.

Review comments and scan findings will send work back more often than broken code will. Small commits that are easy to read go through faster than one big drop at the end of the week.

The actual week

The responsibility list reads grand: analysis, design, delivery. The week itself is a few assigned tasks, a standup, an estimation session, and chasing someone for a review. The posting openly says to seek guidance from experienced members, which tells you how much support to expect.

Testing is split into unit, service and integration layers. Learning one test framework properly beats a shallow pass at all three.

Patterns and process, by name

Factory, adaptor, singleton, composite, observer, strategy and inversion of control are listed outright. That's a revision list. Know what each one solves and where you have used one, even in a college project.

Waterfall, Scrum, Kanban and SAFe also appear. What matters is how they differ day to day, in standups and boards, not the textbook definition.

How to apply

  1. Open Mastercard's careers site with the Apply button.
  2. Create a Workday account for Mastercard. Workday logins are separate for every company, so an account made for another employer won't work here.
  3. Upload your resume and check every auto-filled field; Workday often misreads dates and job titles.
  4. Answer the screening questions, submit, and look for the confirmation email from Workday.
