Job description

About Us:
Founded 20 years ago and headquartered in Chicago, the DV Group of financial services firms has grown to more than 600 people operating throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Since spinning out of a large brokerage firm in 2016, DV Trading has rapidly scaled as an independent proprietary trading firm utilizing its own capital, trading strategies, and risk management methodologies to provide liquidity to worldwide financial markets and hedging opportunities to commodity producers and users. Now, DV group affiliates include two broker dealers, a cryptocurrency market making firm, and a bourgeoning investment adviser.

Overview:
DV Trading is seeking an experienced, high-performing trader to deploy and scale profitable strategies on a best-in-class proprietary platform. This role is designed for individuals with a demonstrated ability to generate alpha who are looking for greater autonomy, access to capital, and a high-performance environment without the constraints of traditional institutions.

The platform supports a wide range of experience levels-from highly established traders who operate independently end-to-end, to developing traders who may benefit from support in areas such as research, technology, or execution. Resources across quant research, engineering, and infrastructure are available to help accelerate strategy development and growth.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Independently manage and scale a proprietary trading strategy
  • Develop, refine, and optimize models, signals, and execution frameworks

  • Collaborate with traders, quants, and engineers to enhance strategy performance

Requirements:

  • Minimum 2+ years of experience at a proprietary trading firm, hedge fund, or bank
  • Demonstrated, consistently profitable trading strategy (all asset classes considered)
  • Proven track record of live performance (beyond backtesting)
  • Strong return on capital (ROC)
  • Experience contributing to or leading successful trading teams
  • Ability to communicate effectively across functions, including leadership, risk, compliance, engineering, and legal

Benefits: 

  • Discretionary bonus eligibility
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • HSA, FSA, and Dependent Care Options
  • Employer Paid Group Term Life and AD&D insurance
  • Voluntary LTD, Life & AD&D insurance
  • Flexible Vacation policy
  • Retirement plan with employer match

Annual compensation range $100-200K base + profit share with meaningful upside
