About this role.
Branch is seeking an Enterprise Engineer to build and maintain internal systems, APIs, MCP servers, Streamlit applications, and automated Python workflows for its Data team. The role requires hands-on Python, SQL, relational database, and full-stack development experience, with an emphasis on reliable and maintainable internal tooling. The engineer will work across business systems and data-platform capabilities, including deterministic AI workflows and stateful applications that enforce process standards. This is a remote, U.S.-only position on a small, high-trust team in the fintech and payments space.

Sample interview questions
I would explain the business problem, map the manual workflow and failure points, then describe the Python service or automation I implemented. I would quantify the impact using measures such as reduced processing time, fewer errors, improved auditability, or higher adoption, and explain how I documented and maintained it.
I would begin with narrowly scoped, deterministic tools and explicit input and output schemas. I would enforce authentication, authorization, validation, logging, rate limits, and audit trails, while avoiding direct access to sensitive data unless required. I would also add tests and clear error handling so downstream AI workflows receive predictable results.
I start by clarifying user workflows, ownership, service-level expectations, and data contracts with stakeholders. I design versioned endpoints with validated schemas, least-privilege access controls, meaningful errors, observability, and documentation. Before broad release, I use automated tests and a staged rollout to identify integration issues.
I would model the process as explicit states and permitted transitions, with server-side validation rather than relying only on the UI. Each transition should be durable, auditable, idempotent where appropriate, and resilient to retries or partial failures. I would also provide clear user feedback, exception paths, and reporting for blocked or incomplete workflows.
I would use discovery conversations to understand the current process, its volume, risks, user pain points, and desired outcome. I would translate those findings into small, measurable proposals, communicate tradeoffs in plain language, and prioritize work by business impact, reliability risk, and implementation effort. Regular demos and feedback loops would ensure the solution remains aligned with how teams actually work.
