Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Squarepoint Capital nel mese di gen 2025
Colloquio
I applied for the software engineer role, mainly using python. First had an online coding test, 2 questions with 1 hour time limit. It was like leetcode but the questions were more related to real life problems instead of puzzles, like splitting a URL into chunks. Then I had an interview with a senior dev. The interview started with some basic get to know questions, then some quickfire technical questions. Then we went into the python coding problem which was to do with accessing data in a time series database. I answered most of the questions correctly as far as I know, but maybe not to the standard they wanted, and I didn't get further.

Domanda 1
In the interview they asked about SQL queries, Linux command line knowledge, python decorators, generators and iterators.
The coding part was making a function to get data from a time series database, and what to do if the data doesnt exist.
