Why this is on the board
The work itself helps no one outside Optiver: you build data infrastructure for the internal departments of a trading house, so the leverage is in the salary and the profit-sharing bonus. If you give a substantial share of that every year to charities that demonstrably achieve a lot per euro, you can pay for the work of several people elsewhere (earning to give). You can also do that from other well-paid tech jobs, and it only works if you actually give the money away.

About the role
Every major business function, including Finance, People, Procurement, Tax, and Compliance, operates on its own version of the truth: fragmented, siloed, and manually managed. You'll build the governed data foundation that replaces this, greenfield, on a modern stack, with real architectural ownership and production delivery in your hands.
