Pulled from your resume
Built payment processing service handling $2M monthly volume with Stripe webhooks
What interviewers will push on
Your bullet names Stripe and volume but not idempotency, duplicate charges, or rollback paths. Expect follow-ups on webhook retries and reconciliation.
Talking points to add
Idempotency key strategy on POST /charges and webhook dedupe table
One incident: duplicate charge race — how you detected it and the error-rate delta after the fix
Settlement flow: client → API → processor → webhook → ledger update
Stronger rewrite
Shipped idempotent payment ingestion for $2M/mo volume; cut duplicate-charge incidents 40% via webhook dedupe and reconciliation jobs
