How to Apply to Optiver 2027: Process & Deadlines
Applying to Optiver for the 2027 intake starts on the official Optiver careers page, where roles are listed by office and program — graduate trader, quantitative researcher, software engineer, and internships. The process moves fast once you apply, so preparation should be done before you click submit.
The Optiver Application Steps
Step 1: Choose your role and office on the Optiver careers site (Amsterdam, London, Chicago, Sydney, Hong Kong, and more). Step 2: Submit your CV — keep it one page, quantitative achievements first. Step 3: Receive the online assessment link, usually within days. Step 4: Complete the 2–3 hour assessment in one sitting. Step 5: Phone/video interviews with trading games. Step 6: Final on-site rounds and offer.
Deadlines and Timing for the 2027 Intake
Optiver hires on a rolling basis for many roles — which means applying early in the 2027 intake cycle materially improves your odds, because headcount fills as the cycle progresses. There is no single published deadline that covers every role and office; timing varies by program. Always confirm current deadlines and role availability on the official Optiver careers page before planning around any date you see elsewhere.
Apply Ready, Not Early-and-Unready
Rolling hiring creates a trap: apply too early and you face the assessment unprepared; apply too late and the headcount is gone. The right move is to finish your assessment preparation first — timed modules mastered, dress rehearsals done — and then apply immediately. Never submit an application "to get the process started" while still training.
