Description
Optiver is seeking an experienced ETF Trader to join our Trading team as we continue to expand our footprint. This is a high-impact role within a collaborative, fast-moving environment, with the opportunity to help shape coverage, strategy, and execution across a broad ETF universe.
What you'll do:
• Quote, execute, and manage risk across ETFs, both on-screen and OTC.
• Identify and capture trading opportunities through market structure insights, relative value, and flow analysis.
• Work closely with quants, engineers, and other traders to improve pricing, models, and execution tools.
Who you are:
• 3+ years of experience trading ETFs, cash products, or closely related instruments.
• Strong understanding of ETF mechanics, including valuation, basket construction, and primary vs secondary market dynamics.
• Solid grasp of market structure and how ETFs interact with underlying markets.
• Experience with China markets is an advantage, but not a requirement.
• Comfortable working with data to inform trading decisions; experience with Python or similar languages is beneficial.
• Clear communicator who works well in highly collaborative, cross-functional teams.
What you'll get:
You’ll join a culture of collaboration and excellence, where you’ll be surrounded by curious thinkers and problem solvers. Driven by a passion for continuous improvement, you’ll thrive in a supportive, high-performing environment alongside talented colleagues, working collectively to tackle some of the most complex problems in the financial markets.
In return for your expertise, you will have access to a range of Optiver perks, including:
- A performance-based bonus structure unmatched anywhere in the industry. We combine our profits across desks, teams, and offices into a global profit pool, fostering a truly collaborative environment.
- The chance to work alongside diverse and intelligent peers in a rewarding environment.
- Training, mentorship and personal development opportunities.
- Daily breakfast, lunch and an in-house barista.
- Gym membership plus weekly in-house chair massages.
- Regular social events, including a company trip every two years.
- Guided relocation, a competitive relocation package and visa sponsorship where necessary.
