Summary Generated by Built In

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 wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated efforts of our technology teams who utilize and perfect our innovative technology solutions.

Trading Data Fabric (TDF) builds and manages a data platform that enables Belvedere to capture and stream high-volume, high-quality data and utilize cloud-scale compute for quant research and trading. We manage pipelines that capture real-time market data, trading actions, and complex internal valuation and position data. These stream into real-time trading engines and our data warehouse for historical analysis.

Our Software Engineers are responsible for system development, pipeline implementation, data warehouse architecture, data quality automation, and operational oversight. They participate in all aspects of our software development lifecycle, from design to testing to deployment, and have both a love of technology and an interest in the financial markets.

The Company

HQ: Chicago, IL

265 Employees

Year Founded: 2002

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.

Why Work With Us

At Belvedere, our differences are what allow us to compete and succeed at the highest level. Our Culture Committee and Women’s Initiative elevate the voices of our teammates to further promote an inclusive workplace. It is our priority to foster a sense of community and belonging for each team member while supporting individual development.
