Who we are

Optiver is a rapidly growing proprietary trading firm, with offices in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific. We focus on electronic market making and arbitrage activities in a wide variety of products including derivatives, stocks and bonds.  We trade with our own capital and at our own risk.

Our business covers 5 continents, 20 countries and each of the world’s major economic time zones. With more than 500 employees worldwide, our culture is one of our most valuable resources: we are professional, strongly results-driven, open and informal, team-based, ambitious and flexible.

Although market making and arbitrage are our core activities, we rely heavily on our IT expertise and excellent Business Operations support in order to achieve the highest success with the lowest risk possible.

The Mid Office Department is the key link between our traders on the one hand, and the clearing, brokers and exchanges on the other. As a member of this team you will be responsible for the data management of trades as well as the control on daily result accounting by traders. You provide Clearing with feedback on status of settlements, overdue entries and dividends. Furthermore, you will support your senior colleagues with the development of new projects designed to increase effectiveness and efficiency.

We need

• Bachelor/Master degree in Finance/Accountancy/Economics;
• Up to 1 or 2 years working experience;
• Affinity with the financial industry and IT;
• Experience with Clearing and Settlements is an advantage;
• A numerical and analytical mind;
• Ability to work accurately;
• Ability to work independently and as a team player;
• Excellent communication and writing skills in English.  

What you'll get
Our compensation package is consistent to the type of people we want to see working with us: the best and the brightest.

A short overview of our secondary benefits: 30 days holiday, fully paid first-class commuting expenses, a premium-free pension, attractive bonus structure, training opportunities, relocation packages, discounts on health insurance, breakfast and lunch facilities, Friday afternoon drinks and even weekly in-house chair massage. In addition, we offer you the possibility to work in the USA or Australia.
