Trading strategies in New York
New York is a key location for Optiver across US Cash Equities, ETFs, and Credit business lines. Teams build and operate systems that continuously price markets, manage positions, and respond to live trading conditions as they evolve. Engineers and traders work closely together to iterate how these systems behave in production, from handling fast-moving markets to improving pricing and execution quality. The focus is on building systems that scale and perform reliably under real market pressure.
Engineering in New York
In New York, engineers focus on improving how systems are built and run on a global scale. That includes developing shared platforms and developer systems used across trading and research, and applying AI to developer workflows and data-driven systems. Teams are lean and highly capable, working on new and expanding areas where engineers can shape systems early and see their impact quickly. Much of the work involves rethinking workflows, building the right guardrails, and designing systems that are reliable, scalable, and ready for production use from the start.
New York
“It’s been exciting to work on how we think about market structure and build more systematic, data-driven trading strategies. A lot of that comes down to developing new models and automation that drive how we trade the cash landscape, including on/off-screen liquidity to client flow and engagement.”
“What’s been interesting with AI is realizing you can’t just layer it onto what already exists. You have to rethink the workflow from the ground up, and that’s where a lot of the interesting work is right now.”
“I’ve been able to change what I work on and where I work over time, from connectivity to trading systems to different offices. That’s what’s kept it interesting. You don’t feel stuck doing the same thing year after year.”
