First stage is Hackerrank, these were easy-medium leetcode type questions. Second round was HR where I was asked typical motivational questions and one brainteaser. Then two rounds of technical interviews with traders with some more brainteasers and more technical experience questions and some questions about the firm and how they/HFT operate. Did not make it to final round (superday in Dublin).
