HN discussionThe work I do is all in the single-to-low-double-digit microsecond range to give you an idea of timing constraints. I'm peripheral to HFT as a field though. > First, split the load in to simple asset-specific data streams with a front-end FPGA for raw speed.

HN discussionThanks for your question! Our interview process varies by role, but generally includes a take-home coding test, one or two technical phone screens, and an onsite with 3–5 rounds. For algo developer roles, you can expect math-heavy topics like statistics and probability in addition to C++ or Python programming. Python and C++ Software Engineer interviews do not assess quantitative skills. Those roles focus more on to…
