The Austin Perspective:
an experience unlike any other
America’s newest tech capital
Austin has emerged as one of the US’ leading global tech hubs. With tech innovation an integral part of Optiver’s core business, the booming city proved an ideal backdrop for our heavy investment into machine learning, research infrastructure and big data computing.
A fantastic place to live and work
Unlike most tech capitals, Austin still offers a relatively low cost of living – especially considering all that the city offers. With world-class music, food and art scenes, as well as countless scenic outdoor activities, the quality of life in Austin is second to none.
Work-life balance
Optiverians work very hard, but they nonetheless tend to wind down at a reasonable hour, leaving ample time to pursue their personal interests. With Austin providing countless greenbelts, music and food festivals, there’s no shortage of great ways to spend your free time outside the office.
