I got a system design interview where I was asked to build a pricer for a financial product, then expand it to multiple pricers that might share inputs.

This was not the typical system design interview where you have to deal with APIs / load balancers / latency / etc

I have studied that a lot, but what about these type of general interviews?

System design has tonnes of YT videos. Watch them.

Pricer would have some kind of human interface. Even if just CLI that called API endpoint using some kind of SSO staff authentication. Then it is just a back end.
