If you want to be the most successful trading firm, you need to have the best traders. We strive to hire the most talented traders from all over the world. But having the best traders is not enough.

The transition from trading on the floor of an exchange to electronic, screen-based trading means we also need to have to the most advanced technology, trading software and connections to the market – and the right people to develop these tools.

At Optiver, trading and IT therefore work together as one team. With a focus on teamwork and commitment, we are able to reach optimal performance levels.
