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 wouldnât 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.
We seek an experienced Team Lead to guide the team responsible for developing the logic that controls the market activity of our execution systems.
In this role, you will work closely with quantitative researchers, traders, and engineers to design, build, and evolve highâperformance, missionâcritical components of our automated options trading stack.
Our systems are primarily C++, with supporting Python components. You should be comfortable working across this technology stack and within a fastâpaced environment that leverages automated daily releases, rigorous code reviews, and strong testing and validation practices.
Belvedere Trading is looking for a selfâstarter with a successful track record as both an individual contributor and a team leader. Team Leads at Belvedere take ownership of their team's direction, invest deeply in their own technical growth, and help elevate the engineers around them.
