Opportunity Expired
Get ready to be immersed in 12 weeks of action-packed, interactive learning over the summer of 2022-2023, where you will deep dive into the dynamic world of market-making.
Join Optiver and accelerate your growth in a truly fascinating, high-performance environment.
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 a focus on cutting-edge engineering, data science and research, we actively trade on 50+ exchanges, where we’re trusted to always provide accurate buy and sell pricing – no matter the market conditions.
Optiver’s Sydney office is one of the primary players within Asian markets, trading a range of products. As an active participant in the Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Japan exchanges, we act as Optiver’s APAC head office.
As our Software Developer Intern, you will take ownership of critical projects right from the start. Whether it is developing ultra-low-latency exchange protocol encoders and decoders, fine-tuning our automated trading strategies and pricing models, or even just creating and extending user interfaces, your goal is to find the simplest and cleanest solution to any problem at hand.
If you enjoy a fast feedback loop and see the immediate impact of your work, Optiver is the place for you. You could be working on a change to a trading system in the morning and see it running live in the afternoon. Our collaborative culture means you’ll work closely with Traders and other Engineers to identify and solve problems that make a tangible impact on the business.
By the end of the internship, you’ll have learnt the ins and outs of our trading systems and the engineering concepts that make them successful. Our dedicated Head of IT Education will work with you on your development. And if you’ve excelled during the internship program, you may also receive an offer to return and join the team as a Graduate Software Developer.
