Job description

Grow your C++ expertise while building systems that power real-time decision-making. 
As a Software Engineer at Wolverine, you'll contribute to the design and development of high-performance applications that support our trading strategies. You'll work closely with experienced engineers, quantitative researchers, and traders to build reliable, scalable systems in a collaborative and fast-paced environment. 

This role is ideal for someone with a solid foundation in C++ who is eager to deepen their expertise in performance-focused systems. You'll own meaningful components, participate in technical design discussions, and continuously improve both your craft and the systems you help build. We value thoughtful engineers who ask questions, seek feedback, and are motivated to learn. 
At Wolverine, engineering growth is hands-on. You'll gain exposure to real-world performance challenges, production systems, and cross-functional collaboration while being supported by a team invested in your development. 
  • Collaborate with engineers, quants, traders, and sales to build reliable and scalable trading software 
  • Contribute to system design, implementation, and code reviews 
  • Develop and enhance C++ components supporting risk management and order execution 
  • Troubleshoot and improve system stability in production environments 
  • Continuously learn and apply performance optimization techniques
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience 
  • 2+ years of professional software development experience 
  • Experience working with C++ (professional or significant academic/project experience) 
  • Solid understanding of algorithms and data structures 
  • Exposure to multi-threaded or concurrent programming concepts 
  • Curiosity, strong problem-solving skills, and a desire to grow in performance-focused systems 
  • Clear communicator with both technical peers and business stakeholders
Our flat organizational structure promotes teamwork across the Firm and offers easy access to senior staff. While we work exceptionally well as a team in the office, our bonds are further strengthened through company events, activities and giving back. Volleyball, soccer, hockey, 5K runs, picnic, parties, and trivia nights provide friendly competition and build better relationships. By getting out of our usual environment and doing out-of-the-ordinary things together, we foster creativity and broaden our imaginations to accomplish new challenges.
 
Benefits:
  • Highly competitive salary & bonus opportunity
  • Generous paid time off and flexible scheduling
  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits for single coverage
  • Generous Paid Parental Leave
  • Retirement Plans: 401K and Roth 401K
  • Profit sharing plan
  • Long- and short-term disability 
Additional Perks:
  • Free breakfast and lunch from our in-house kitchen with rotating menus (including snacks!)
  • On-site gym with a subsidized membership
  • Frequent company outings
  • Opportunity to give back to organizations that help individuals in need in the Chicagoland area
Professional Development:
  • In-house education team - classes and resources are offered for continuous learning opportunities
  • Mentorship Program through your first six months of employment
The base compensation range for this role is approximately $100,000-$140,000 contingent on experience. Wolverine Trading's total compensation model includes base salary and an annual discretionary bonus.
