## Job 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.

### Diversity statement

Optiver is committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, and welcome requests for reasonable adjustments during the process.

Questions? Get in touch with the recruitment team at careers@optiver.com.au.

**Live in Optiverus’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
