We’re a team of mathematicians, engineers and scientists driven by one goal: solving the world’s greatest quantitative challenge.
Global financial markets are vast open systems, unpredictable and constantly evolving. Our researchers rapidly transform scientific hypotheses into algorithmic trading strategies deployed across hundreds of financial exchanges. Each iteration sharpens our edge, improving trading 24 hours a day across millions of instruments worldwide.
NeurIPS Conference
Experienced professionals
Optiver was proud to support the NeurIPS 2025 community as a Diamond Sponsor, joining researchers, engineers and quantitative thinkers from around the world to explore the latest developments in ML, AI and systems research - and how these advances can be applied to complex challenges in the world's markets.
Research powered trading
Focus areas
We operate at scale across a universe of unsolved quantitative problems. Working across disciplines and drawing on methods from both academia and industry, our teams push beyond established boundaries to redefine what’s possible in quantitative finance, machine learning and AI.
- Stochastic and statistical modelling (probability theory, stochastic processes, derivative pricing)
- Machine learning and time-series forecasting (predictive models, Bayesian methods, autoregressive models)
- Reinforcement learning and optimal control for decision-making under uncertainty
- Natural-language processing and multimodal signal extraction from noisy market data
- Large-scale experimentation and high-performance computing for model training, validation and inference
