===================

Optiver is a Global Trading firm focused on market-making. We take pride in  
our people and our technology. From our Sydney office, we trade across the  
APAC region and due to continued growth we are on the lookout for talented  
and passionate people. We have been voted #1 and #2 in the BRW's Best Places  
to Work in Australia for the last 2 years. Our culture is everything to us  
and we honestly believe that our work place and our people are the reasons  
why we continue to the leaders in our industry. We are always on the look out  
for brilliant minds who would love to work with us as much as we would like  
to work with them.

We love tech! And we love how our people and our technology have such an  
impact on us as a business. One of the most important roles is working in our  
Trading System Engineering team. This team is made up of excellent problem  
solvers who love a technical challenge and thrive in a fast-paced  
environment.

Most of us come from an infrastructure background however, we have some great  
engineers who were once developers and decided to change into a more  
end-to-end role where they have more scope and breadth of responsibility. We  
manage the entire trading system from end-to-end - servers, networks,  
software deployments etc- and we ensure that they are performing at their  
peak. We are expert troubleshooters and natural problem solvers and love to  
do root cause analysis.

Your tech-know-how would include:

- Experience working as a Systems Administrator, Infrastructure Engineer or  
any technical role that requires complex troubleshooting and incident  
management
- A solid understanding of Linux – whatever flavour you like
- Experience with Networking will be pretty handy
- If you can script using Python or have any software development experience,  
these will definitely help too

What you’re like

- You’re awesome
- Love to communicate and have excellent verbal, written and face-to-face  
comms
- You dream about troubleshooting and root cause analysis and thrive on  
solving problems
- Understand the importance of managing expectations – you don’t leave  
your stakeholders hanging
- Easily liaise with both techies and non-techies
- Love to learn and often find yourself trying to improve just about  
everything, all the time
- You’re efficient and keep a cool head under fire

You don't need to have had prior experience in trading to be successful in  
this role. We will support you and give you all the training, love, and  
guidance you need to be as successful as you can be.
