I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Sydney) in Sep 2019
Interview
It was very structured but relaxed. You'll get to meet a lot of people from all levels. There are intense sessions with a group then breaks in-between with 1-2 other staff to talk about the company in general.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design this system that does this thing?
A bit anxiety inducing, there were two developers observing and asking questions. Real-time problem solving required, conducted on Hacker Rank virtually, video and mic enabled - quite nervewracking to say the least
I had one round, which was an online HackerRank test. I wasn’t able to pass all the test cases, and as a result, I did not progress to the next stage of the process.
A lot of interviews. Started off with a call, then some online tests. Then a technical interview. Then a live coding interview along with a architecture interview. Last step would have been final day interview but I did not get that far.

Question 1
How many bits do you need to store a number up to X. And how can you represent that.
