The posting

Ready to accelerate your growth in one of the most fascinating and dynamic industries?

Our Market Risk Summer Internship program is the perfect opportunity for you to explore the critical role that risk management plays in the world of market making.

Kickstart your learning in our global offices, alongside your peers. You'll have the exclusive opportunity to commence your training in a different office like Sydney, Shanghai or Amsterdam, before returning to Singapore to put your knowledge into practice.

Discover what goes on behind the scenes to ensure our trading operations run safely within our risk limits. With guidance from your mentor and team, you'll collaborate on projects that solve Optiver’s real-world challenges. Plus, if you’ve excelled over the summer, you could receive an offer to return as a Graduate Market Risk Analyst.

With Optiver’s internship program, your work improving the market starts today. Apply now.

Who we are

Optiver is a global tech-driven trading firm, with offices in Amsterdam, Sydney, London, Singapore, Shanghai, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Chicago and Austin. Founded 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.

No previous experience in trading or financial markets?

You bring the passion and we'll have the training to support you along the way.

You'll be immersed in our industry-leading training program, where you'll learn extensive trading principles and concepts. Once you’ve got the basics covered, you’ll put your knowledge into practice and work on a risk specific project. Our experienced risk analysts will mentor and guide you through the process. By the end of the internship, you’ll have a solid theoretical and practical understanding of life as a Market Risk Analyst.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
