Optiver the company
Optiver is one of the fastest growing and most
successful proprietary trading firms in Europe.
We deal in highly-automated electronic
market making and arbitrage activities. With
offices in Amsterdam, Chicago and Sydney,
employing 550 talented individuals from over
30 nationalities, we trade in 20 countries,
across 5 continents, 24 hours a day. Our
culture is one of our most valuable assets:
result-driven, open and informal, team-based,
ambitious and exceedingly flexible, whilst
striving for professionalism within all our
departments.
Although market making and arbitrage are
our core activities, we rely heavily on our IT
expertise and excellent Business Operations
support. We recognise that only the very latest
hardware and software will ensure fast and
reliable connections with option exchanges
worldwide. Our success is the result of our
continuous attention to innovation, and we
aim to always stay ahead of the technology
curve.

valuable assets. We are strongly resultsdriven,
which has contributed significantly

appearance and attitude – and we trade smart.
Our offices are modern and offer many stressrelieving
extras, such as a complete game
room filled with a pool table, table football and
more. We give our employees the flexibility
to be innovative, research their ideas and act
upon them. Our working environment is ideal
for ambitious and talented people who enjoy a
challenge. Despite the independent nature of
our profession, we are a very team-oriented
company.
