Jobs at Optiver

At Optiver, we like to think we’re different. Brilliantly different! First of all, who are we? We call ourselves Market Maker. We’re a global leader in electronic exchange trading dealing mainly in derivatives, shares and bonds. We’ve been on the scene since 1986 and are now one of the largest derivative groups on the Asian and European exchanges, with a growing presence in the USA, China and Taiwan. We’re excited about the journey we are on and the growth of our business. But what makes us different? Above all we value the talents of our team and foster a collaborative and innovative working environment which nurtures brilliant minds. We strive to bring out the best in people. We prefer an informal, fun and comparatively flat structure free of rigid hierarchies. Employee engagement is important to us and we go out of our way to encourage a rewarding, social culture. That’s why the BRW rated us one of Asia’s top ‘Best Small & Medium Workplaces in 2015’ and Australia’s Best Places to Work in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
