J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Austin, TX) en août 2024
Entretien
Long and Hard. 3 hour interview process, the questions focused a lot on class implementations. Both questions I got asked me to developed detailed classes with multiple methods. I was not able to awnser the first question, and after that did not decide to finish the interview. Would rec you study on how to implment detailed classes.

There was an application and CV screening, then an OA and I only made it to the first interview after that before I was rejected. The OA was done in a language of your choice online over 2 hours.

LeetCode OOP style question for the OA then coding knowledge questions about computer systems and complexity and efficiency of systems, finishing with a series of games, testing pattern recognition and math while also testing speed.
Started with a technical OA where you got two questions to complete in ~ 2 hours, followed by a recruiter chat to get to know you better
Questions like why do you want to work at Optiver, what are you passionate about (talked about different investment strategies)
