Job Description

Optiver is seeking a Senior Trading Automation Specialist to join the team responsible for the daily operations, automation, and continuous improvement of our market making activity in Chicago. This is a high-impact role that sits at the intersection of trading, technology, and operational excellence. You will drive the strategic vision for how we scale our operations through automation, ensure the integrity and reliability of our core market making systems and strategies, and serve as a key partner to traders, researchers, and engineers across the firm. You will be expected to take full ownership of critical workstreams and deliver results with minimal oversight. This role requires someone who can operate at both a strategic and tactical level — comfortable shaping the long-term roadmap for trading automation while also rolling up their sleeves to solve problems in real time on the trading floor.

Job Responsibility

  • Define, drive and implement the automation roadmap for trading, identifying high-impact opportunities to eliminate manual processes and scale the business
  • Design, implement, and maintain automated workflows, data pipelines, and reporting infrastructure
  • Collaborate with Quantitative Traders, Quantitative Researchers, and Software Engineers to translate operational insights into system improvements
  • Act as an escalation point for critical operational decisions and incidents
  • Lead post-mortem processes, driving root-cause analysis and preventive measures
  • Own end-to-end reliability of core trading automation systems
  • Identify and resolve operational risks proactively

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in trading operations, trading technology, quantitative finance, or a closely related field
  • Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related)
  • Strong programming skills in Python, SQL, or similar languages, with a track record of building automation and tooling
  • Deep understanding of electronic trading systems, market microstructure, and the operational mechanics of market making
  • Excellent analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving abilities
  • Outstanding communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across trading, technology, and risk functions

Nice to have

  • Demonstrated leadership experience, including mentoring team members and driving cross-functional initiatives in a fast-paced environment
  • Experience at a market making firm, proprietary trading firm, or quantitative hedge fund
  • Track record of driving large-scale process automation or operational transformation initiatives

What we offer

  • Opportunity to work alongside best-in-class professionals from over 40 different countries
  • Highly competitive compensation package
  • Global profit-sharing pool and performance-based bonus structure
  • 401(k) match up to 50%
  • Comprehensive health, mental, dental, vision, disability, and life coverage
  • 25 paid vacation days alongside market holidays
  • Extensive office perks, including breakfast, lunch and snacks, regular social events, clubs, sporting leagues and more
