Amsterdam
Amsterdam is where Optiver began in 1986, built on a simple idea that markets function better when liquidity is deep, spreads are tight, and prices adjust quickly to new information. That idea still shapes how we operate today.
From Amsterdam to Austin, Singapore to Sydney, our offices connect some of the world’s brightest minds across trading, technology and research. Each location brings its own perspective and culture, united by a shared ambition to improve financial markets through collaboration, innovation and speed.
