It was a technical trading interview over a zoom call. Problems were given through Optiver's website which I had to log into at the start of the interview. The interviewer was a trader who controlled what I saw on the website and asked me questions.
1. did the online assessment. three sections: coding(object oriented question), programming and computer system questions for 20 minutes, zapn/neuro assessments

Interview
Chill behavioural, barely 15 mins long. Normal STAR qns, and some questions about resume. Also some talking about current position, why trading, why Optiver, things like that. I need to write 30 words so I guess I’ll also say make sure to have a HD WAM.
