We believe university and early career hiring helps our company look at problems in alternative ways, integrate fresh perspectives, and innovate. We're currently looking for an Early Career Talent Partner to own intern, entry-level, and early career hiring for our Technology & Platform team, building the pipeline of engineers who will build and scale the systems our trading business runs on. This role will be responsible for attracting and hiring high-potential colleagues, developing quality relationships with technical student groups, and building a strong employer brand among the college communities that produce top engineering talent. You will own stakeholder relationships with Technology & Platform leadership and strategically partner with the business to drive hiring and lead best practices in technical talent acquisition.
What you'll do
Execute the campus recruitment strategy for the Technology & Platform team and influence future intern, campus, and early career recruiting cycles, including undergraduate and graduate-student recruitment
Sponsor, attend, and support hackathons using them as a primary sourcing and brand-building channel to identify strong engineers early and build Belvedere's reputation in the community
Own and continually sharpen our technical assessment process: partner with engineering leaders to build, run, and iterate on coding challenges and technical interviews that hold up as candidates' coursework and skill level advance
Evaluate technical skill as students’ progress through their coursework, with a specific eye toward identifying engineers who can genuinely elevate how we code and assessing real problem-solving and coding ability rather than output that leans heavily on AI-assisted tools
Foster and maintain relationships with computer science and engineering departments, coding clubs, and open-source/dev student organizations, positioning Belvedere as a destination employer within those communities
Full-cycle campus recruiting for Technology & Platform roles: managing a high-volume candidate pipeline from initial application through technical assessment and offer stage, in partnership with our People Operations team on engagement and onboarding
Partner with Technology & Platform hiring managers to understand evolving stack and skill needs and translate them into sourcing strategy and candidate evaluation criteria
Represent Belvedere during campus visits and virtual open houses, presenting our internship programs and early engineering talent development paths
Elevate diversity recruiting efforts by partnering with colleges/universities, student organizations, and technical events
Retroactively analyze engagement efforts to understand the return on strategic partnerships (hackathons, clubs, academic programs) and the success of new engagements
Provide a high-touch candidate and hiring manager experience by articulating our core values in ways that resonate with a technical, engineering-focused candidate pool
Evaluate and measure campus recruiting results and identify areas for process and performance improvement, systematization, and automation
What you'll need
2+ years recruitment experience, preferably with intern, entry-level and early career talent pools in fintech, big tech, and financial firms
Ability to manage full-cycle recruiting process including resume review, phone screens, interview scheduling and facilitation, and offer calls
Demonstrated success recruiting at multiple universities in highly competitive markets, ideally within software engineering or technical early-career talent
Comfort engaging with technical concepts and evaluating engineering skill signals (enough to speak credibly to hackathon organizers, CS faculty, and student developer groups, and to partner effectively with engineers on assessment design)
Excellent oral and written communication skills
Ability to travel as needed during peak campus recruiting periods in the fall and spring, including to hackathons and technical career events
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities/projects, meet deadlines, and facilitate change with a sense of urgency
Proven analytical, organizational, and decision-making skills with demonstrated negotiation skills and influencing positive outcomes
Eager to take on new tasks/responsibilities and passion for candidate experience, operational excellence, and continuous development
Experience coordinating and participating in both in-person and virtual recruiting events/activities
Comfortable working with and presenting recruitment data and market data, reporting, and analytics

Belvedere Trading Insights
What We Do
In March of 2002, Belvedere Trading emerged as Chicago’s newest market maker, soon to join the ranks of the Windy City’s elite proprietary trading firms. Armed with printouts of Excel workbooks and a team of eager minds, Belvedere established their place in the SPX pit on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. From the beginning, we have iteratively invested in our proprietary technology and made a commitment to building our software systems from the ground up. Due to our ultramodern proprietary technology and risk management capabilities, Belvedere is able to quickly capitalize on inefficiencies in the marketplace. Our trading models and software systems are continually re-engineered, optimized, and maintained to stay on top of the industry. Building and nurturing a strong culture is one of Belvedere’s highest priorities, and we are always looking for the best and brightest talent to help us in our continued success.
