| | | 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 finishing my Bachelor of Science in 2020 at the University of Melbourne, majoring in Electrical Systems. |
|---|
| | | There, I am also completing a Concurrent Diploma of Computing. |
|---|
| | | I intend to continue with my education with a Masters of Engineering in 2021. |
|---|
| | | In these, I have been exposed to a wide range of problems which have presented me with the opportunities to develop my technical, interpersonal and communication skills which I hope should help with a placement at Optiver. |
|---|
| | | 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. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | I have experience programming in C and Java solving problems at systems and user levels. |
|---|
| | | I have also some experience with programming hardware in Verilog and VHDL. |
|---|
| | | I have also played with various open server and enterprise level technologies in my own time, particularly virtualisation and containerisation. |
|---|
| | | I have found my academic and personal experiences useful in employment, where I develop embedded systems. |
|---|
| | | I hope to be able to further my understanding of performance constrained computing through an internship with Optiver. |
|---|
| | | 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. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | 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 look forward to hearing from you. |
