Upcoming Technical Interview:
The next interview was described as a technical round focusing on fundamental CS knowledge and a design session on how to build an application. The candidate noted that the structure had changed significantly since the previous year, making it difficult to find information.

General advice from other users for SWE roles at Optiver indicates that interviews are mostly heavy on System Design, Computer Architecture, OS, and Networks. Data Structures and Algorithms are also asked, typically in the LeetCode medium range, but clearing the OA suggests proficiency in this area.
