    Description


    The Application Engineering team is the steward of our trading systems, balancing a safe, orderly production environment with profitability and sustainable growth.


    Our responsibility is to stay ahead of the inherent complexity in scaling a distributed system that handles over half a million correlated financial instruments across multiple data centers and thousands of servers - all the while striving for simplicity, dependability, and operational excellence.


    We understand the full breadth of all production systems, including how they interconnect and interact and use this knowledge to deploy, monitor, troubleshoot, and scale up our trading infrastructure.

    We work with traders, development teams and operations teams to coordinate and influence improvements to our systems.

    Optiver is a tech-driven trading firm and leading global market maker. As one of the oldest market making institutions, we are a trusted partner of 70+ exchanges across the globe.

    Our mission is to constantly improve the market by injecting liquidity, providing accurate pricing, increasing transparency and acting as a stabilizing force no matter the market conditions.

    With a focus on continuous improvement, we participate in the safeguarding of healthy and efficient markets for everyone who participates.

    Optiver Chicago's culture parallels the energetic city we're immersed in.

    Home to the Chicago Board of Trade, Chicago Board Options Exchange, and Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chicago has established itself as the trading capital of the US.

    Active on leading US exchanges, Optiver's Chicago office trades a wide range of products from listed derivatives to cash equities, ETFs, bonds and foreign exchange.


    What you'll do:
    In this position, you will be covering our Night Trading shift of 4pm-1am and have the following responsibilities:

    Deploy, monitor, and configure a suite of proprietary trading applications

    Provide technical expertise and support to a high frequency trading floor in a competitive market-making environment

    Develop fluency with existing systems, infrastructure, and procedures and proactively improve them

    Intelligently automate while maintaining firm human control

    Script against configuration files, databases, and logs

    Act as a single point of contact for general IT questions or assistance

    Solve IT issues for trading and enterprise applications

    Work with development to ensure the health and stability of the production trading environment

    Continually drive production systems toward cleanliness, simplicity, and reliability

    Track and solve issues as part of a fast-paced results driven set of IT teams


    Who You Are:
    Bachelor's degree in CS or related technical field

    Passion for problem solving in a start-up environment

    Strong desire to work with a wide scope of technologies

    Experience with Python, Ruby, or Perl

    Experience with SQL and data administration

    Experience with operating systems and understanding network architectures

    Knowledge of trading exchanges and financial instruments is not required

    Attention to detail and cleanliness


    What you'll get:
    Work alongside best-in-class professionals from over 40 different countries.

    Performance based bonus structure that is unmatched anywhere in the industry.

    We combine our profits across desks, teams and offices into a global profit pool fostering a truly collaborative environment to work in.

    Ownership over initiatives that directly solve business problems.


    Alongside this, you will get great other benefits such as 25 paid vacation days and market holidays, fully paid health insurance, daily breakfast and lunch, training opportunities, 401(k) match up to 50% and charitable match opportunities, regular social events and clubs, and many more.
