What you will do

What you'll do

The Taiwan Technology Operations Engineer is responsible for the operational readiness, regulatory compliance and market infrastructure that underpin Optiver's trading business in Taiwan. The role owns exchange-facing technical operations, regulatory reporting and audits, and cross-functional initiatives that are critical to running a high-frequency trading business in a highly regulated market.

You will be primarily responsible for Taiwan's operational and technical obligations, working with traders, engineers and compliance internally, and with the exchange, regulators, auditors and vendors externally. This is a hands-on, high-impact role with real accountability for outcomes rather than coordination alone.

You will be part of Optiver's CTO Office, the global function accountable for how technology is run and governed across our offices, with colleagues holding the equivalent brief in our other APAC markets. The work you do in Taiwan will shape how we meet these obligations elsewhere.

We're looking for candidates

With a strong understanding of how technology, operations and regulation intersect in a trading environment.
With a solid foundational understanding of IT infrastructure, systems engineering, networking or software development, to engage credibly with engineers and work hands-on where the role requires it.
Who have directly owned regulatory and technical reporting and audits, including coordinating evidence with external auditors and internal stakeholders.
With experience managing infrastructure-related activities such as server deployments, colocation setups or vendor-managed technical services.
Fluent in Chinese and English, culturally attuned to Taiwan's ways of working, to effectively bridge communication between Optiver and external parties.
Who operate effectively across multiple teams and functions, often without direct authority, and communicate clearly with senior stakeholders.
With experience operating in environments with high accountability, ambiguity and time-sensitive outcomes, adapting to shifting priorities across a broad remit.
Based in Taipei and able to work on site, including occasional weekend and out-of-hours operational coverage.
