Fibe (formerly EarlySalary) is a Pune-based consumer-lending fintech, so its engineering interviews centre on Java or Kotlin, Spring Boot microservices, SQL, and the realities of high-volume instant-loan disbursal.
Expect practical questions on API design, idempotent transaction handling, and scaling a lending backend, not abstract puzzles. Prior fintech or payments exposure stands out in later rounds.
