Uniswap·Software Engineer·Onsite - Product Sense / Strategy

Jul 2026
Interviewed for a software engineering role at Uniswap. The questions were almost entirely product and mission-focused, which I did not expect going in as an engineer. Less about code, more about whether you actually believe in what decentralized finance is trying to do.
  • In what ways could a decentralized exchange contribute to humanity or create broad societal value?
  • What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses of traditional payment systems like card networks, bank transfers, and remittances?
  • How could a protocol like Uniswap meaningfully change the world over the next 5 to 10 years, and what are the biggest risks or downsides?

“This felt like a values screen more than a product question.”
