What is a proprietary trading firm?

A proprietary trading firm (prop firm) hires traders to trade the firm’s capital rather than client funds. Traders aim to generate profits using various strategies across markets like stocks, options, futures, or forex. Unlike traditional firms, prop traders keep a share of the profits they generate but don’t risk their own money. These roles often require strong analytical skills, risk management, and quick decision-making. Many firms provide training, technology, and support to help traders succeed.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a proprietary trading firm position, and why are they important?

To thrive at a Proprietary Trading Firm, professionals need strong analytical abilities, quantitative skills, and a solid understanding of financial markets, often supported by degrees in finance, mathematics, or related fields. Technical proficiency with trading platforms, financial modeling software, and programming languages (such as Python or C++) is highly valued, along with relevant certifications like FINRA Series 7 or 57. Excellent decision-making under pressure, a strong work ethic, and effective communication are standout soft skills. These capabilities ensure accurate risk management, effective strategy execution, and success in the fast-paced and competitive trading environment.

What are common career paths and growth opportunities at a proprietary trading firm?

At a Proprietary Trading Firm, entry-level traders typically start by mastering risk management and executing firm strategies under supervision, while progressively developing their own trading systems. Career growth is often merit-based and rapid, with top performers advancing to roles such as Senior Trader, Risk Manager, or Portfolio Manager, and sometimes leading teams or entire trading desks. Many firms also encourage traders to specialize in specific markets or asset classes, which can lead to increased responsibility and compensation. Successful traders may also have the opportunity to influence firm-wide trading strategies or transition into quantitative research and strategy development roles.

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
  • Take full ownership of risk, positioning, and P&L
  • Leverage DV's technology, infrastructure, and support to expand your book
  • 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
