J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Two Sigma (New York, NY)
Entretien
Phone call with hiring manager (CS background). Asked about research in my current role, digging into details about diffusion models I worked on (and he clearly did not know any basics and seemed he did not want to admit that). Quite unpleasant. Then technical question about parameter estimation from noisy observations of Gaussian random variables.

Then technical question about parameter estimation from noisy observations of Gaussian random variables.
I interviewed on zoom with three different interviewers. The first was talking to a recruiter about interview processes and why I am applying and going over my resume. The second was with a quant researcher about my resume, past research and domain knowledge and technical questions. The third round was with another quant researcher about past research and some more technical questions. I didn't proceed after that.

Question 1
statistics and regression questions and some math brainteasers
The interview process typically starts with conversations with team members, followed by three rounds of technical interviews focused on data analysis, coding, and statistics. Each round includes follow-up questions that probe deeper into the candidate’s reasoning, methodology, and ability to apply concepts under realistic problem-solving scenarios.

Interview mostly consisted of conceptual ML questions and general experience, with no coding. The interviewer was super nice, but they were looking for more experienced candidates, which my years of experience didn’t quite qualify me for.
