Job Specification: If pace, adrenaline, training, challenges, rewards and the support of smart people are what motivate you, make the move to Optiver. We are the largest independent arbitrage firm in the Asia Pacific region, with a product range that spans five continents and 20 countries. Last year, we employed between 50 and 100 graduates globally. In the next five years, we’re aiming for a trading presence in every listed product on every exchange in the world. This is your chance to be part of our success. If you are a graduate and would like to work in Sydney, Chicago or Amsterdam, this could be the ideal role for you. Salary levels are lucrative and there is no cap on earning potential. As a proprietary trading house, we have no clients which means we don’t expect you to wear a suit.

Trading opportunities are available year round.
Essential Skills: You must be prepared to give 100% during trading hours. Rapid reactions, analytical abilities, communication skills, initiative and decision-making flair are also essential.
