Interview prep

Practice the work behind the question.

Choose a lane and role to see its real interview questions, what each tests, and a framework for strong answers. These are practice prompts and general guidance - not memorized scripts, and not every company interviews the same way.

Market Maker

Expect questions about market microstructure, statistics, and algorithmic execution, plus a scenario where the role must respond to extreme volatility, exchange outage, API failure, oracle issue, depeg, custody event, or a model behaving outside expected conditions. Interviewers are looking for evidence that the candidate knows where liquidity provision and pricing and execution stop and promising token price and protocol marketing begin.
