Online Application: Start by submitting your resume and application through Optiver's website or a job board. Initial Screening: If your application is shortlisted, you may have an initial phone screen with a recruiter. This is an opportunity for the recruiter to learn more about your background and motivations. Phone Interview: The next step often involves a phone interview with a member of the trading team or a quantitative researcher. You may be asked technical questions related to trading strategies, mathematical modeling, probability, and finance. On-Site Interviews: Successful candidates are typically invited to the company's office for a series of on-site interviews. These interviews can include: a. Behavioral Interviews: Expect questions about your motivation to work at Optiver, your ability to work in a team, and your approach to problem-solving. b. Technical Interviews: These interviews may cover quantitative and technical topics relevant to trading. You might be asked to solve mathematical problems, discuss trading strategies, or write code.
