Recruiter screen
About 30 minutes. Resume, motivation for a trading firm, and team alignment - SIG hires developers into groups such as trading systems, market data, order routing, middle and back office, and automated testing. Some recruiters add light questions on operating systems or networking.
Online assessment
Timed and proctored. Reports vary by year: several coding problems of rising difficulty on HackerRank or CodeSignal, and in some tracks a problem-solving test on Mettl. Candidates report that efficiency matters, not just passing the test cases.
Free rep: Coding challenges with a real sandbox →Technical screen
60-90 minutes of live coding in a shared editor. Some candidates describe a '30+30' format - about 30 minutes coding alone, then reviewing and optimizing the solution with the interviewer. Narrate tradeoffs as you go.
Free rep: Coding challenges with a real sandbox →Superday: algorithms
A deep-dive coding round at medium-to-hard difficulty. Clean implementation, complexity analysis and edge cases. C++, C#, Python and Java all appear in SIG developer postings.
Free rep: Coding challenges with a real sandbox →Superday: design
Often object-oriented design of a concrete component - class boundaries, interfaces, extensibility - rather than a large-scale distributed system. Trading-infrastructure candidates may get low-level performance and latency questions instead.
