Optiver·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

First round for the Optiver SWE intern role was pretty standard: intro, resume chat, then a coding problem framed around trading concepts where you had to design some functions and talk through data structures before implementing. The poster is asking what to expect in round two, which seems similar in format but longer.
- Design a set of functions to perform specific operations, framed in a trading context. Walk through potential data structures before writing the implementation.
“The trading framing threw me a little at first because it sounds more domain-specific than it is.”
