Optiver started in 1986 as a market maker on the Amsterdam based European Options Exchange with a single floor trader. Today, we are one of the leading international proprietary trading firms, employing around 600 employees worldwide, 300 of which are here in Amsterdam.

We provide liquidity to exchanges – thereby enabling investors to transfer their risks. And we do it 24 hours a day and on all major exchanges around the world.

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 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.

We are continuously looking for bright and creative new colleagues to strengthen both our Trading and our IT department.
