Mentored by Optiver engineers, our program gives you the opportunity to: • Accelerate network infrastructure and trading system components with high-speed hardware designs.

• Research new low-latency techniques and platforms and identify opportunities for integration with our trading system. • Collaborate in a multidisciplinary team of traders, software developers, and infrastructure engineers.

• Leverage the best hardware available or build in-house versions to ensure our FPGAs can interface with cutting-edge server hardware. What you’ll get: You’ll join a culture of collaboration and excellence, surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem-solvers.
