  • Ability to translate business goals and ideas into scalable production code

Why Edgehog:
  • Small team advantage: Direct access to founders and senior team members from day one
  • Ownership early: Manage real P&L and make meaningful impact within your first year
  • Cutting-edge tech: Work with our proprietary models and low-latency trading systems built in-house
  • Tight feedback loops: Monthly 1-on-1s with your mentor, quarterly reviews with leadership
  • Chicago-based: Affordable cost of living, vibrant trading community

Benefits:
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance with premiums 100% covered by the firm
  • 401(k) with a 4% company match
  • Unlimited paid time off and sick leave
  • Free lunch, coffee, drinks, and snacks
