I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Deriv.com (Dubai) in Aug 2022
Interview
3 rounds of interviews plus a very long SATI form to fill out. Technical questions were asked with regard to option pricing, but no coding tasks or live coding during the interview.

Interview
I was asked to complete an assessment (SATI) before stepping into the interview stage. The interview questions were not too hard, it's all about behavioural and technical questions but unforfutanely I wasn't being shortlisted at this stage.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Deriv.com in Sept 2022
Interview
The first stage is to complete a SATI questionnaire which is extremely long (~14 pages). The questionnaire is very very time consuming to complete and it contains very personal questions (mental health related) that I don't consider appropriate for an interview. I spend a lot of time completing it and they got back to me a few days later with a generic rejection. Honestly is not clear what they are looking for and I found the generic rejection disrespectful after the time I spend completing it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you experience mood swings? How High are your highs how low are your lows?
We are sorry you feel that way. We consider the SATI to be an integral part of our recruitment process. Answering it may be time-consuming, but it allows us to understand the candidates better. Using it is also an excellent way to determine whether a candidate is a good match for Deriv.
It allows candidates to demonstrate their motivation, skills, and background.

Interview
Questionare, Two video calls, then background check and offer. Do not waste your time!!! They want you to have an advanced degree in physics, math or financial engineering, knowledge of c++ and python, probability, statistics and stochastic calculus and after you will get an offer with a base salary of 6k AED!!!!
When you say them that this salary is 4 times lower than the average, they try to convince you that you should be thankful for getting an offer in such a nice company.
