Shanghai
Since 2012, our Shanghai office has been a professional participant in China’s fast-growing financial markets. Working closely with local stakeholders, including regulators, exchanges and industry participants, we have a long-term commitment to be the trusted partner in the development of Chinese financial markets.
Shaping China's evolving markets
Today, our Shanghai office plays an active role in providing liquidity and supporting price discovery across major mainland exchanges, trading futures, options and equities. Commodities are a core focus as we provide liquidity to over 100 commodity products, helping connect domestic markets with offshore pricing. This requires combining fundamental commodities knowledge with quantitative and machine learning techniques to price and manage risk across both short- and long-term expiry contracts. AI and machine learning is applied to our day-to-day work, shaping how we analyse data to enhance trading performance and strengthen risk control within our daily operations.
Focus areas
Quantitative thinking underpins everything we do in Shanghai. Our teams apply advanced mathematical modelling, statistical analysis and data-driven research to price, trade and manage risk across fast-moving markets. Across trading, research and technology, our people bring deep analytical rigour to solve complex problems – continuously testing, validating, and refining ideas through rapid iteration.

“Tackling complex trading problems with advanced AI techniques is both challenging and rewarding. Transparent collaboration within and across teams enables you to learn from others, exchange ideas openly, and expand your impact by building more effective solutions together.”
“The agile way we work, and the global reach of the company have given me the experience to work in Chicago, and now Shanghai. This has broadened my learning and perspective immeasurably.”
“I really enjoy Optiver's culture that encourages us to take ownership of our work and to think actively about what we can do further. These help us contribute to the market, the company, as well as ourselves.”
