What We Do
Da Vinci was founded in 2015 after a group of passionate trading experts found themselves desiring a new way of working. They wanted to do things differently. At Da Vinci, our goal is to build the best proprietary trading house in the world by doing just that. We strive to keep our work smart and innovative, making the most of our team’s strategic minds to challenge existing ways of thinking. We’ve established a unique approach to trading and have high standards for company culture. We are headquartered in the home of the world’s first stock market — Amsterdam — and spend each day immersed in the city’s rich financial and trading history.
Becoming the best in the world means building a team of first-rate talent with the most innovative ideas. The real value comes from how we work and grow together, making working at Da Vinci challenging and rewarding. We have a lot of fun and truly enjoy what we do; at Da Vinci, we value collaboration, so you can find traders, software engineers, researchers and founders working closely together every day. We are nonhierarchical, support employees moving flexibly within the firm and place no limit on personal growth.
