| | | I am very excited to apply for a Software Development internship at Optiver. |
|---|
| | | I think it would be great to be able to work and learn about the challenges faced by a multinational trading firm. |

| | | I am a Master's of Electrical Engineering with Business student, finishing in 2022. |
|---|
| | | I have completed my Bachelor of Science and Diploma of computing in 2020, also from the University of Melbourne. |
|---|
| | | In these, I have been exposed to a wide range of problems and have been tasked with finding creative solutions within constrains, which I believe should help with a placement at Optiver. |

| | | In 2020, I completed my Bachelor of Science and a Diploma of computing, also from the University of Melbourne. |
|---|
| | | During these courses, I was exposed to a wide range of problems and have been tasked with finding creative solutions within constraints, which skills I believe would assist me at Deloitte. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | I have experience programming in C and Java, solving problems at systems and user levels. |
|---|
| | | I also have some experience with programming hardware in Verilog and VHDL. |
|---|
| | | For work, I have done some development with embedded systems, and am generally interested in the tight performance constraints there presented. |
|---|
| | | In my own time, I have played with various open server and enterprise level technologies in my own time, particularly virtualisation and containerisation. |
|---|
| | | In addition to technical skills from university, I am used to working within teams on technical challenges, both at university and in the workspace. |
|---|
| | | Often these challenges have required me to coordinate with teammates to research new information and work towards a solution to the given task. |
|---|
| | | I have found that a technical background and communication training has enabled me to approach problems from an unconventional perspective, often providing innovative solutions. |
|---|
| | | Additionally, I have found myself increasingly interested in the decisions making of large organisations, analysing choices and predicting outcomes. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | I believe that a position with Optiver would offer some fantastic opportunities I would be unable to experience anywhere else. |
|---|
| | | The constraints faced from algorithmic trading fascinate me, particularly due to the emphasis placed on, and potential gain from, marginal improvements in performance. |
|---|
| | | Additionally, I think the business of proprietary trading is an interesting one, being that as it is the firm's own money being traded rather than a group of investors, the firm exposes itself to more risk creating a larger emphasis on quality trades. |
|---|
| | | The sale of derivatives to institutions seems like an interesting additional method of raising revenue, requiring a sizeable technological back end to mitigate risk. |
|---|
| | | I believe that a position with Deloitte would offer me opportunities that I would be unable to experience elsewhere. |
|---|
| | | The size, scale and influence of Deloitte amazes and inspires me, due to its reach, client base and potential for impact. |
|---|
| | | Being one of the ``Big 4'' accounting firms, Deloitte's reach is unparalleled and has the potential to direct the course of global economics. |
|---|
| | | It is with knowledge of this ability, that I take want to take this opportunity to intern with you. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | I look forward to hearing from you. |
