Founded in 1986, today we are a leading liquidity provider, with close to 2,000 employees in offices around the world, united in our commitment to improve the market through competitive pricing, execution and risk management. By providing liquidity on multiple exchanges across the world in various financial instruments we participate in the safeguarding of healthy and efficient markets. We provide liquidity to financial markets using our own capital, at our own risk, trading a wide range of products: listed derivatives, cash equities, ETFs, bonds and foreign currencies.

Optiver's Sydney office is one of the primary players within Asian markets, trading a range of products. Established in 1996, we're an active participant on the Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan exchanges, and act as Optiver's APAC head office.

What you'll do

No previous experience in trading or financial markets? You bring the passion and we'll have the training to support you along the way.

From theoretical lectures on trading fundamentals to working on group projects that contribute towards our ever-evolving strategies, you'll receive the same training as our full-time trading team. You'll also work alongside other trading, research and tech interns to develop your own trading algorithms.

By the end of the program, you'll have a solid theoretical and practical understanding of life as a Quantitative Trader.

Who you are

As an Options Trader, during market hours, you'll be making fast, yet deliberate, trading decisions, based on the data available. You love puzzles, predictions and have a flair for numbers. You're driven to understand the why, but you're also comfortable with making decisions under uncertainty. Outside of market hours, you'll work on projects that'll further set you up for success during trading hours.

As a D1 trader, you'll be in charge of running and constantly improving Optiver's automated trading strategies. Whether it's conducting a micro-analysis on part of the trading stack, or searching for new, novel trading signals in large, noisy data sets, you'll be using your strong quantitative skills to continually solve trading problems which don't have textbook solutions. You will collaborate closely with researchers and developers to trade, using Optiver's cutting-edge statistical models and machine learning algorithms.
