The system is built to be robust, enabling research at scale while running complex machine learning models with low latency across thousands of financial instruments.
What you'll do:
  • Establish vision and technical direction for machine learning-driven trading systems that help maintain our position as a leading team in futures and equities trading
  • Partner deeply with researchers to solve complex, high-value business problems
  • Build and maintain end-to-end trading infrastructure, from research to production execution
  • Push frequent, impactful code changes to the production environment
  • Contribute to the Optiver stack and our pricing, research and trading models from ideation through to implementation
  • Ensure new and existing programs adhere to our coding, architectural, and operational standards
  • Develop new and existing programs adhere to our coding, architectural, and operational standards

What you'll get:
You'll join a culture of collaboration and excellence, surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem-solvers. Motivated by a passion for continuous improvement, you'll thrive in a supportive, high-performing environment alongside talented colleagues, collectively tackling some of the toughest challenges in the financial markets.
In addition, you'll receive:
  • The opportunity to work alongside best-in-class professionals from over 40 different countries
  • A highly competitive compensation package
  • Global profit-sharing pool and performance-based bonus structure
  • 401(k) match up to 50%
  • Comprehensive health, mental, dental, vision, disability, and life coverage
  • 25 paid vacation days alongside market holidays
  • Extensive office perks, including breakfast, lunch and snacks, regular social events, clubs, sporting leagues and more

Who you are:
  • Experience leading large scale projects
  • Solid engineering instincts and a deep understanding of computer science fundamentals
  • Strong expertise in C++ is strongly preferred; experience with C, Python, or Linux is a plus
  • 2+ years preferred of C++ experience in low-latency systems like market data ingestion, order routing, execution performance, or simulation frameworks.
  • Innovative, out-of-the-box thinking grounded in real-world pragmatism
  • Desire to continuously improve in a rapidly evolving environment
  • Readiness to set technical direction, promote engineering principles, and do the right thing

Who we are:
Optiver is a global market maker driven by technology.
