01 · Sponsorship evidence first
Sponsorship status
Support stated in the evidence
Optiver is supportive of US immigration sponsorship for this role.
The current Summer 2027 U.S. posting expressly states immigration support for this role. The visa category, candidate eligibility and any later full-time sponsorship must be confirmed individually; this is not a visa or return-offer guarantee.
Sponsorship evidence reviewed 2026-10-23. This does not refresh the job posting check below.
Evidence scope: Specific posting. A program policy and historical employer records do not establish support for every role.

Questions still to resolve
- Add your graduation month and year to compare the published window.

- E-Verify enrollment has not been matched to the hiring legal entity. Verify separately if relevant to STEM OPT.
- Compare your degree and enrollment status with the official requirements.

- No fixed deadline was confirmed; check the official posting before applying.
Graduation dates are compared only where exact bounds are stated. We do not infer CPT/OPT eligibility, work permission or H-1B timing from your academic year.
03 · Separate employer check
E-Verify
Hiring legal entity not independently confirmed
No official E-Verify legal-employer match has been verified. Immigration sponsorship does not establish E-Verify participation.
E-Verify participation is separate from H-1B sponsorship and the other STEM OPT requirements. An employer statement or an unmatched name is not a completed legal-employer verification.
04 · Prepare with a purpose
What to prepare and why
Prepare a rigorous ML or time-series research project, probability and model validation. The interview process may include a multi-day onsite evaluative program.
Build a focused application
Use the recorded requirements to choose relevant projects and experience for your résumé.
Research the business
Connect the role to the company’s products and business before preparing interview examples.
