The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether Marqeta does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — Marqeta's asks for 9 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
