First round technical interview. Equal parts coding and classic system design. Chill interviewer, chatted a bit after the interview. Lots of emphasis on weighing the pros and cons of an approach.
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)

OA had two specific questions to Optiver,
One was on scheduling events subject to some constraint.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver (Australia Plains) nel mese di apr 2025
Colloquio
The coding part was easy, but the logical reasoning was confusing, as one couldn't say they were completely right. Questions seemed easy, but I couldn't complete the other on time, spent too much time perfecting the first one.
