[PIPELINE] Senior Software Engineer - Backend

Verdict

This posting is from Marqeta's internal employee-referral Greenhouse board, a legitimate fintech company (NASDAQ: MQ). The employer name "MQ Referrals Only" is unusual and may cause confusion, but verification confirms it is Marqeta's official referral system. Strong legitimacy signals from known ATS provider, business/location match, and reachable website outweigh the minor uncertainty from the non-standard employer branding.
