Most teams think of an agent as a standalone app, and think building many agents means building many standalone apps.
On July 1, Matt Nassr, Head of Global Data and AI Transformation, is talking about how to build a shared substrate so every agentic workflow compounds on the

- As models become more capable, the focus is increasingly shifting from what they can do to how they perform and adapt beyond controlled environments. Excited to be back at #ICML2026, connecting with the global research community and exploring how advances in ML translate from
- When your platform’s users stop being people and start being agents, the job of a platform team changes. You’re no longer building for someone clicking through a UI. You’re building for an agent that needs context, guardrails, and the ability to act on its own. At @databricks
- For years, policymakers have looked for ways to push trading activity back to lit markets. But measures like caps have been tried, and they didn't work. Instead of returning to lit markets, trading simply migrated elsewhere. Our new paper argues that Europe should stop trying to
- We're live for Day 2 at AI Engineer Melbourne. We run production trading systems across 100+ exchanges. Stop by to talk agentic AI, production systems and engineering at scale. @webdirections #aiengineer #aimelbourne #AIE #AI #machinelearning
- When something feels slow, you’re probably looking in the wrong place. UI issues are rarely local. They’re usually caused by how data is fetched, recomputed, and duplicated across the system. Read more 👇
- AI coding tools are moving quickly. The conversation is shifting from what's possible to what actually works in practice. As part of #NYTechWeek, Matt Nassr, Head of Global Data Engineering and AI Transformation at Optiver, will join leaders from @driver_ai_, @ShipBob and
- Teams building and scaling better agentic outcomes are building systems designed for agents to check their own work, and fix it, instead of relying on humans to detail corrections. At @aiDotEngineer Melbourne next week, Moss Ebeling will speak about what closed-loop design looks
- “We have a tremendous advantage at Optiver in that we own our path to production.” That line from our most recent Tech Town Hall reflects how we think about engineering: direct ownership, tight feedback loops, and work that connects quickly to live outcomes. As we scale into
- Excited to be at #FCCM2026 this week! Tomorrow, Optiver FPGA Engineering Lead Kevin Sprague will discuss how FPGA engineers make system-level tradeoffs across hardware and software to optimize real-time trading systems. Breakfast starts at 7:30am and talk begins at 8:00am. See
- Optiver repostedAI in BFSI is moving from experimentation to execution, with a stronger focus on scalability, risk, and measurable impact. At the @iitbombay – @OptiverGlobal AI Innovation Lab Symposium, discussions explored real-world AI applications, industry research from leading banks, and
- Fetching a table and subscribing to updates sounds straightforward until you need it to be correct. The snapshot misses new rows, while the stream sees them immediately, and you cannot drop or reorder either. This boundary is where most of the complexity sits. See how we use
