Optiver
Data Scientist — Shanghai
As a data scientist in our options market making team, you will play a key role in improving our trading strategies through rigorous data-driven analysis. You’ll take a scientific approach to understanding how our systems perform in live markets—developing hypotheses, building experiments, and using advanced analytics to uncover opportunities for improvement.
You’ll work with large-scale production trading data to identify patterns, test ideas, and evaluate strategic changes. This may include leveraging statistical modeling, machine learning techniques, and other quantitative methods to better understand market dynamics and strategy behavior.
You’ll collaborate closely with traders and engineers, but your work will be rooted in independent thinking, analytical rigor, and a strong focus on real-world impact.
