Well organized process: first round covered resume walkthrough, probability, and combinatorics. Final round included deeper probability questions, a data interview, and an HR discussion. Overall, a structured and positive experience.
Neutral experience
Difficult interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jump Trading (Hong Kong) in Mar 2026
Interview
Few Hr calls prior and between.
First round: Probability questions, questions on general ml knowledge: lasso, ridge, mathematical justification of gradient descent, prob inequalities, linear algebra and geometric interpretations of probability. Final Onsite: Leetcode problems, stats, harder probability problems, deeper into ml knowledge: linear regression basics, pca, linear algebra, questions on the classes you have taken.
ML knowledge is very much needed.
interviewed with low-mid frequency equity team.
1st round: coding + statistics, mainly probability, stochastics and OLS. Questions are quite interesting.
2nd round: only about past experience, focus on all the details.
3rd round: onsite interview.
