What's It Like to Work at Belvedere Trading?

Belvedere is a strong place to work for people who want a collaborative, high-performance environment with real support for growth. The company builds its culture around intellectual curiosity, iterative innovation and team success, and that shows up in day-to-day work through close partnership between traders, technologists and product teams. Junior engineers and quants are trusted to spot problems and ship improvements, and employees have clear frameworks for advancement through individual development plans for all levels of experience.

Employees recommend Belvedere as a place to work because of our culture. We encourage our team members to come as they are, work hard, pursue innovation, and enjoy their lives outside of the office. 

Belvedere has a reputation for being a high-performance trading firm that invests seriously in both people and technology. We are known for collaborative, team-based work across trading and engineering, a culture of community, and an environment where employees at all levels are creative problem solvers.

We are also recognized as a place that works to pair intensity with sustainability. Belvedere emphasizes open, candid feedback, and we give meaningful autonomy and ownership to team members. We have built programs around wellbeing, flexibility and employee experience to push back on the finance industry's reputation for burnout. Our hiring practices, women’s initiatives, and inclusive recruiting efforts reinforce our mission to be equitable, supportive and welcoming while still holding a high bar for excellence.

We're also passionate about giving back to the communities around us. The Belvedere Foundation, founded in 2019, has donated over $1.7m to youth organizations around Chicagoland. As a team member, you can give back, too: Belvedere matches employee donations to the causes you care most about.
