GoFundMe·Frontend Engineer·Technical Phone Screen
May 2026
Did a technical screen for a frontend role at GoFundMe and got the classic bracket matching problem. Nothing too wild, but my first instinct was not the clean stack solution.
- Given a string with bracket types '()', '[]', and '{}', write a function that returns true if every opening bracket is closed by the correct matching bracket and they are all properly nested.
“My brain went to this loop where you just keep stripping adjacent matching pairs until nothing's left or you're stuck.” The rest of the author's notes on Frontend Engineer interview at GoFundMe, Technical Phone Screen round, covers how they worked through the question, what the panel pushed back on, and what they would do differently.
