I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AKUNA CAPITAL (Sydney) in Jul 2021
Interview
First stage was an 80 minute test with a mix of various maths topics and some coding theory/questions. After that, a 45 minute technical phone screen going through some algorithm problems. Final round was two back-to-back coding and maths interviews with people from the development and quant team respectively.
Overall a nice quick application process, they're not looking to catch you out with curveballs, just trying to gauge your skills in maths and coding under some pressure.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Linear algebra, multivariable calculus and probability questions for assessing mathematical ability and background, some LeetCode-style algorithm questions and open-ended Python problem solving exercises for assessing programming ability.

Interview
Got a Hackerrank with 3 LC Mediums. Then a one-way interview with 3 simple math questions on counting and probability where I had to answer and explain. Then a code-pair interview with an easy DSA question and a OOP question. Didn't make it past

Interview
round 1: 3 leetcode med (10/15, 12/15, 8/15), round 2: 3 hard probability/math mc that you were recorded while completing round 3: implement a python class that had methods that could insert values and efficiently calculated mean, mode, etc. Did well but did not make it to final round
