Delta 1 Trader
“Optiver is not only a trading firm but also a leading technology hub. People get to work with state of art machine learning techniques, cutting edge hardware solutions and mind opening cloud computing framework. Not only we revolutionize trading with technology but also we grow and improve the market at the same time.
