apply todayInterviewing is a crucial part of our hiring process. As we get to know
you better, you will have the chance to get to know us better, too. Our interview process is designed
to play to the strengths of our ideal candidate. We will ask you technical questions that require complex
thought and ask you to talk us through your process as you problem solve.
We want you to be prepared and confident in each stage of the interview process so you are able to
show us your very best work. In anticipation of our recruitment process, we’ve outlined how to
prepare and what to expect.
You will complete the online application and an online test designed to assess your knowledge of relevant subjects such as probability, data analysis, algorithms, and logic questions.
The assessment is 10 multiple choice questions of varying difficulty and you will be given 40 minutes to complete it. Below are 3 examples of the types of problem questions in the test.
For more sample questions, search online for "Quant interview practice questions" or "Quant interview prep" to find a variety of resources.
Your first interview will be a conversation where we’ll get to know you better, no technical or coding questions, we promise!
We’re interested in learning more about your academic background, interests, and any relevant experiences you’d like to share. You’ll have a chance to walk us through past projects or situations where you had to think critically, solve a problem and drive ownership of projects. Don’t worry if your experience is mostly from school. We’re just excited to hear how you approach challenges and learn more about what motivates you.
If selected after the initial review, you’ll be invited to a second-round interview with a few of our team members. Most interviews will be conducted over Zoom (or by phone if the internet is an issue) and will last approximately 90 minutes.
This will be a technical interview, focused more on your skills and knowledge than personal fit. Your interviewer will start with a few questions about your academic and professional background, followed by technical questions assessing your understanding of probability, logic, algorithms, and other relevant topics.
Please remember that our interviewer wants you to succeed and that talking with them and explaining your understanding of the problem
as you go will give you the best possible chance of success.
The final stage of interviews is in-person at our Vancouver office. You will spend half a day with our quant team members. During this time you will have a 90 minutes coding assessment in python followed by 1 on 1 interviews with our team members. This is for our team members to get to know you better and ask you about your professional and academic experiences and qualifications along with some general knowledge concepts. This is also an opportunity for you to ask us any questions you might have about the company. These interactions will allow you to get a sense of our working culture. If you are currently not living in Vancouver, we will cover travel and accommodation costs for you to come here.
This stage of interviews is conducted by our portfolio manager. This interview will focus on problem-solving involving math and statistical analysis combined with practical application to real-world problems.
If you've made it this far, congratulations! You have impressed us through a strenuous interview process and we consider you among the best of the best. We look forward to welcoming you to NumerixSQuant.
