PayPal’s 2026 campus and early-career hiring is expected to focus on payment and platform engineering. Roles in India may cover payments, security, and platform services. DSA and system design (payments, security, scalability) remain the core bar; behavioral and ownership matter in later rounds.

The OA is likely to stay at 2–3 coding problems (~90 min) with possible MCQs. Technical rounds may continue to include system design (payment flows, security). Pattern should be largely stable; 2025 preparation remains relevant.

Prioritise DSA (arrays, strings, trees, graphs, DP), system design (payment systems, security, scaling), and clean code + communication. Use Preparation Guide and Interview Experience. Practice Coding Questions for company-style problems.


Start preparing for 2026 now. Focus on DSA and payment/system design.
