About The Position

Optiver's employees use AI not just to increase productivity, but to redesign the way the firm operates. As our AI Engineering Education Lead, you'll partner with the Head of AI Engineering to lead and implement AI education across our teams globally, reducing resistance to adoption and turning AI fluency into measurable business impact across Trading, Technology and Business Operations.

• You understand how people adopt new technologies and can design learning experiences that change behaviour, not just transfer knowledge.
• Pragmatic and outcome-focused: you concentrate on upskilling employees in ways that unlock revenue and productivity, not on training for its own sake.
• Strong coordinator and communicator: you drive progress with and through other people, translating concepts across varying levels of AI fluency and managing senior stakeholders with confidence.
• Comfortable with ambiguity: you thrive in high-stakes problem spaces with incomplete information and can move from big-picture framing to concrete detail without losing either.
• Legal authorization to work int he U.S. is required; we will not sponsor individuals for employment authorization for this job opening
