  • Build, improve, and maintain research tools (e.g., Python, Jupyter) for testing, backtesting, validating, and monitoring models and strategies. 
  • Collaborate closely with traders, technologists, and senior quantitative researchers to ensure strong alignment between research insights and production trading decisions.

  • 2+ years of experience in quantitative research in trading or a related field. 
  • Strong proficiency in Python or C++ for model research, prototyping, and production implementation; experience with version control and collaborative development workflows 
  • Experience working with large datasets, statistical modeling, or algorithmic workflows. 
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze model outputs and communicate results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Strong collaboration skills with developers, traders, and other researchers in a fast-paced, iterative environment.  
  • Intellectual curiosity, problem-solving ability, and a pragmatic approach to research that balances innovation with production impact.  
Additionally, certain positions at Belvedere Trading are eligible for discretionary bonuses. Our employees have access to a variety of benefits, which can be found on our website here.
