What You'll Do
- Join one 45–60 minute remote interview at a time that works for you.
- Walk through how your team evaluated or shortlisted an outside API or AI vendor (e.g. market data, news/research, identity, or AI chat), and what drove the final decision.
- Share what made integrations go well or badly: documentation, reliability, pricing, security and compliance review, and support.
- Give candid feedback on what you would want from vendors serving retail-investing products.
Please share only your own experience and opinions. You will not be asked for confidential or proprietary information about your employer.
