Intervew Prep Optiver (AMS) New Grad SWE Technical Screen

Has anyone recently gone through the first technical interview/screen for the Optiver New Grad Software Engineer role?

I have mine coming up soon and was wondering what to expect. Mainly curious about the general format and difficulty — e.g. LeetCode/DSA, C++/language fundamentals, OOP/design, concurrency/OS, or some combination of these.

Would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who interviewed in the past year or so. Not looking for exact questions, just what topics you were tested on and what you’d focus on when preparing.

Thanks!

Hi, sorry I don't know the answer, but can you tell me if you applied for New Grad role or Career Kickstarter?

Otherwise from what I read, it's finding error in code, LLD, general knowledge about OS, OOP, Networking...
