Role summary

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Analyst to join our Technology Risk and Enablement team. This team ensures that Optiver’s technology function operates efficiently and scales effectively.

You will partner with our global CTOs to provide insight into how our technology is performing, and how it stays in control of its risks. The opportunity for impact is significant: in the projects we run, we act as a central link between technology, trading, compliance, and risk teams.

In the services we provide, such as hosting the firm’s incident retro process, you’ll work closely with senior leaders, gaining broad exposure across domains and connecting the dots between teams. While not explicitly a software development role, you will have opportunities to contribute to the team’s internal tools to make our processes more effective and to deliver custom solutions where needed, whether that’s generating metrics and dashboards, or improving workflows.
