Hedge fund C++ developer interview questions

[Zhirun]

I just went through an interview for a C++ developer position at a Chinese hedge fund last week.
There are three coding questions which are dfs, backtracking and heap respectively. All three are Leetcode medium level. Technical questions focus on database, memory, C++ features and software design.
I am curious how much knowledge of database and memory should be known for such role.
