Job DescriptionJob DescriptionBelvedere 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.

Provide strong people leadership through coaching, mentorship, and proactive unblocking to sustain execution velocity and grow team capability. Mentor engineers to deepen expertise in low latency design, C++, and options trading concepts. Contribute hands on with targeted features, optimizations, bug fixes, and data analysis to validate behavior and resolve production issues. Incorporate feedback from traders, quants, and partner engineering teams, and clearly communicate timelines, risks, and status to stakeholders and leadership. What You'll Need: 5+ years in a technical/coding role with experience delivering high performance software. Formal experience managing and mentoring software developers. Demonstrated success managing projects through all phases of the software development lifecycle. Strong experience designing and architecting end to end systems, ideally in a low latency environment.
