I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver (Chicago, IL) in Sept 2025
Interview
I submitted my application and received an OA invite immediately. The test was a lot of timed math and basic probability questions (like most OAs for this type of role). There was no coding portion though, which was what I prepared for the most.

Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver in July 2025
Interview
Submitted application and received invitation to online assessment immediately. Needs to be completed within a week. Had 3 programming questions followed by probability, number logic, and Zap N mini-games. I consider myself to have done it reasonably well, but haven't heard back since and thus can safely assume rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
2 Medium programming questions and 1 Easy; probability multiple-choice problems for the closest number with time limit 90 seconds each; find the next element in a sequence of numbers; mini-games testing reaction time and logical thinking.
