Senior Software Engineer - Quantitative Trading

Belvedere Trading is a leading proprietary trading firm proudly headquartered in downtown Chicago. Our traders work hard to provide liquidity to the market through their market-making activities and are the masters of a diverse set of commodities, interest rates, exchange-traded funds (ETF), and equity index options. From the beginning, we began iteratively investing in our proprietary technology and committing to building our systems from the ground up. Our trading models and software systems are continually re-engineered, optimized, and maintained to stay on top of the industry. This wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated efforts of our technology teams who utilize and perfect our innovative technology solutions. 

High-performance proprietary development is the source of our success and competitive advantage at Belvedere, further fueling our passion for performance. We are a team driven by intellectual curiosity, seeking answers that will change not only how we trade in this technological age, but also the future landscape of the trading industry. We place a high premium on defining, developing, and deploying high-performance trading software using a team-based, holistic development approach. We look for passionate team members that excel and their contribution is critical to our continued success. 

Our team is looking for Software Engineers with experience building high-performance trading systems. As a Software Engineer, you will help establish technical standards and be a significant contributor to the technical architecture and engineering practices of our teams.  You will have the opportunity to work and collaborate with Belvedere Quants and Software Engineers to tackle challenges in programming, technology, mathematics, and finance by building high-quality, performant, architecturally sound systems that are aligned with our business goals.  We are looking for individuals who will be able to solve difficult technical problems in a fast-paced and energetic environment. 

The secret to our award-winning culture is our Core Values: Team Belvedere, Me In Team, Own It, Build Rockets, and Passionate Discourse. We live and breathe these values every day.
