Senior Trading Software Engineer

Belvedere Trading

New York, NY • On-site, Remote

$175K - $200K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 2 days ago

Job description

Belvedere Trading is a leading proprietary trading firm with offices in Chicago, New York, Boulder, and Singapore. 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. We operate best within a team environment where we challenge each other to deliver value consistently and share in the success of the company.   

We're looking for a Senior Trading Software Engineer to help push the boundaries of our trading platform. You'll work side-by-side with traders and quantitative researchers to design and evolve the infrastructure behind our automated options trading systems. Our core platform is built in Java, but we're expanding into modern C++ to drive our strategies into new markets. This role will have a hand in everything from trading logic to system performance to FPGA integrations. We operate every day with rigorous code reviews, automated testing, and scalable best practices. If you love optimizing every microsecond, solving real-time problems, and building scalable, battle-tested systems, this role will keep you challenged and engaged every day.
What you'll do
  • Solve low-latency trading problems and optimize performance-critical code. 
  • Collaborate with fellow trading engineers to improve system performance and scalability.
  • Contribute across the tech stack: application development, network optimization, and platform tuning.
  • Partner with hardware and networking teams to drive low-latency performance gains.
  • Leverage data to drive decision-making and uncover optimization opportunities.
  • Design and implement performance-critical, low-latency solutions for real-time trading.
  • Continuously enhance our performance architecture to support evolving strategies.
  • Build new platform features and refine existing systems to meet the demands of high-speed trading.
What you'll need
  • Proven experience in full-cycle software development in trading or other high-performance domains
  • 5+ years of professional experience in modern C++; Java experience is a plus
  • Strong grasp of network programming (e.g., raw sockets, latency tuning, packet handling)
  • Demonstrated ability to debug, profile, and optimize complex systems
  • A self-directed approach with the ability to identify and solve system issues without handholding
  • Experience in fast-paced environments where reliability and performance are paramount
  • A proactive mindset that anticipates risk, foresees performance bottlenecks, and proposes forward-thinking solutions
  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
$175,000 - $200,000 a year
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.
Work Schedule  
Belvedere Trading is supportive of a Hybrid work schedule requiring two days a week in either the Chicago, Boulder, New York, or Singapore offices during normal business hours. 

Women and underrepresented groups frequently apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications.
We encourage you to break that mold and apply. No candidate is perfect; all have a lot to offer. We welcome your application.

Core Values
The secret to our award-winning culture is our Core Values: Team Belvedere, Me In Team, Own It, Iterative Innovation, and Passionate Discourse. We live and breathe these values every day.
