WHO WE ARE
Optiver is a tech-driven trading firm and leading global market maker. For over 35 years, Optiver has been improving financial markets around the world, making them more transparent and efficient for all participants. With more than 1,400 employees in offices around the world, we’re united in our commitment to improve the market through competitive pricing, execution and thorough risk management. By providing liquidity on multiple exchanges across the world, we actively trade on 70+ exchanges, where we’re trusted to always provide accurate buy and sell pricing – no matter the market conditions.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
The Post-Trade team provides a vital function to our trading systems, handling the processing of trades that arise from our trading strategies. There’s a very important emphasis on the systematic approach taken in this area, as we consider the reliable capture of trades and full visibility of the risks and costs arising from them as a key business risk. This means the team must build systems that give high confidence that trades are always recorded accurately in real-time.
As a Post-Trade Technology Team Lead, you'll be responsible for delivering and maintaining control systems, facilitating business expansion in the trading department and managing the team. In addition, you'll:
- Establish a long-term vision and strategy for Optiver's systems, which will include extending our current systems to scale with our business expansion.
- Build and manage a high-performing team with engineering, financial and trading knowledge.
- Develop relationships and procedures with the Trading, Control, Compliance, and Research departments.
- Work with existing project teams to build new components that replace legacy systems.
- Meet key performance metrics to ensure post-trade is not a bottleneck to business expansion and meet key risk indicators on the effectiveness of the post-trade controls.
- Run the post-trade systems each day to ensure high availability.

- 5+ years' C++ and/or C# experience.
- 5+ years' experience as a team lead, with people management responsibilities.
- Experience within financial services, ideally with an understanding of financial asset class booking and representation.

- Gym membership plus weekly in-house chair massages.
- Daily breakfast, lunch and an in-house barista.
