The third round at Da Vinci is the technical interview. The founders of Da Vinci are ex-Optiver, and often people state that you recognise Da Vinci’s old-Optiver roots in both their culture and their recruitment process. The interview is held online, by video call, with a trader. For the summer 2027 internship it is the round after the AI trading challenge: it takes about 45 minutes and opens with a few HR questions. Just like in every round, you need to first introduce yourself and explain why you’re interested in the role and the firm. Prepare your questions for the traders beforehand as well, in case you end up out of inspiration during the interview. There is no bigger red flag than a candidate that has no questions for you.
Book a slot as soon as the invite arrives: in September 2026 the interview slots for interns were gone within hours. The interview covers probability and expected value, options theory and market making. Be ready to walk through any project on your CV in detail as well, since interviewers can ask about them at length.
