Software Engineer - Trading Strategies

Our engineers build the systems that power Optiver's trading business, solving complex technical problems at massive scale where performance, reliability and speed are critical.

You'll work directly with traders and researchers across five Trading Strategies teams, owning systems and workflows end-to-end across the stack: from real-time trading infrastructure and execution through to tools, analytics and decision-support. Depending on the team, engineers may work on ultra-low-latency systems that execute trades in live markets, large-scale research and simulation platforms, equity options trading, systematic trading strategies, or retail order execution systems.
