Established in 1986, today we are a leading liquidity provider, with close to 2,000 employees in offices around the world, united in our commitment to improve the market through competitive pricing, execution and risk management. By providing liquidity on multiple exchanges across the world in various financial instruments we participate in the safeguarding of healthy and efficient markets. We provide liquidity to financial markets using our own capital, at our own risk, trading a wide range of products: listed derivatives, cash equities, ETFs, bonds and foreign currencies.\nOptiver’s Sydney office is one of the primary players within Asian markets, trading a range of products. Established in 1996, we're an active participant on the Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan exchanges, and act as Optiver’s APAChead office. \nWHAT YOU'LLDO\nWe are looking for Support Engineers to join our APACRisk, Treasury, and Post-Trade IT team in Sydney. Our team builds and runs the systems Optiver uses to measure and control its risk exposure, fund its trading, and process its trades after execution. When these systems encounter problems, Optiver's ability to trade safely is affected. Our users are the traders, risk managers and middle-office staff across our APACoffices who depend on these systems every day. Our platforms sit at the end of a chain of internal services, exchanges, brokers and clearers. You'llown their day-to-day operation and the investigation when something looks wrong. The symptom is often a wrong number rather than a stopped process.\nResponsibilities:\nOwn day-to-day production support for the risk, treasury and post-trade platforms: investigate incidents from the first alert through to root cause, write and ship the straightforward fixes yourself, and escalate to the development team where deeper domain knowledge is needed.\n\nWork with stakeholders to establish the real impact of an issue and keep them informed while you resolve it.\n\nDrive problems to resolution even when the cause sits outside the team.\n\nReduce the support burden by automating manual workflows, removing recurring failure modes and improving alerting, monitoring and diagnostics.\n\nExtend our AI-assisted operational tooling for triage, investigation and remediation.\n\nManage the technical operation of the production environment: capacity planning, process and host layout, and deployment across more than 1,000 application instances.\n\nWHO YOU ARE\nYou have 2+ years operating and supporting production software systems, ideally where failure has direct financial or operational consequence.\n\nYou debug systematically, following a problem through logs, data and configuration to its root cause rather than its nearest workaround; you want to fix it in the code, not around it (ours is mostly C++).\n\nYou have strong Linux fundamentals and the confidence to investigate directly on the machine: processes, memory, file systems, networking.\n\nYou are fluent in a scripting language, most usefully Python, with the instinct to automate a task the second time you have to do it.\n\nYou are comfortable with data: competent SQL, and enough numerical curiosity to tell a wrong answer from a right one.\n\nYou are interested in AI and keen to leverage it in your day-to-day work, but you check its work.\n\nYou communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders under time pressure.\n\nAdditional experience we value:\nA solid understanding of the trade lifecycle: clearing, settlement, margin, corporate actions, position and P&Lreconciliation.\n\nExperience with observability tooling, CI/CD pipelines and configuration management across a large estate.\n\nExperience using LLM or agentic tooling to do operational work.\n\nWHAT YOU'LLGET\nYou’lljoin a culture of collaboration and excellence, where you’llbe surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem solvers. Driven by a passion for continuous improvement, you’llthrive in a supportive, high-performing environment alongside talented colleagues, working collectively to tackle some of the most complex problems in the financial markets.\nIn return for your expertise, you will have access to a range of Optiver perks, including:\nThe chance to work alongside diverse and intelligent peers in a rewarding environment\n\nTraining, mentorship and personal development opportunities\n\nDaily breakfast, lunch and an in-house barista\n\nGym membership plus weekly in-house chair massages\n\nRegular social events, including a company trip every two years\n\nGuided relocation, a competitive relocation package and visa sponsorship where necessary\n\nDIVERSITY STATEMENT\nOptiver is committed to diversity and inclusion, and it is hardwired through every stage of our hiring process. We encourage applications from candidates from any and all backgrounds, and we welcome requests for reasonable adjustments during the process to ensure that you can best demonstrate your abilities.\nPRIVACY DISCLAIMER\nOptiver takes the protection of your personal information seriously and is committed to keeping your personal information safe and confidential.
