60 Dv Trading Senior Software Engineer Jobs Hiring Near You

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:

We are building out the next generation of our proprietary electronic trading platform - a greenfield, event-based trading and market data system covering pricing, execution, and risk management - and we are looking for a senior C++ engineer to help lead that effort. You will design and build the systems our trading desks depend on every day: ultra-low-latency execution engines, market data pipelines, order and risk management, and direct connectivity to the world's major futures and commodities exchanges. This is a hands-on senior role on a small team with broad ownership across the trading stack - the code you write goes to production and trades real markets.

Job Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, implementation, and deployment of DV Commodities' core C++ trading platform: execution, order management, market data, pricing, and risk.
• Design and maintain direct exchange connectivity - order entry gateways and feed handlers for venues such as CME (iLink 3 / MDP 3.0), ICE, and other futures and commodities markets.
• Drive microsecond- and nanosecond-level performance work: lock-free data structures, cache-aware design, kernel-bypass networking, CPU pinning and NUMA tuning, and rigorous latency measurement.
• Work directly with trading desks on new feature requests, pricing, and execution algos, and with quants and developers on cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and solve complex problems.
• Build high-performance components for both simulation and live trading.
• Own systems end to end - design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support in a live trading environment.
  

Requirements:

• 7+ years of professional C++ development, with deep command of modern C++ (17/20), templates, move semantics, memory models, and concurrency. 
• Proven experience building low-latency, high-throughput, multi-threaded systems for quantitative trading - ideally at a proprietary trading firm, market maker, hedge fund, or exchange. 
• Strong knowledge of how exchanges work: order types, matching engine behavior, market microstructure, and native exchange protocols (e.g., iLink/MDP, native ICE, FIX/SBE). 
• Direct experience with futures and/or commodities markets; energy markets (crude, refined products, natural gas) and swaps a strong plus. 
• Systems-level fluency: Linux/Unix environments, git, TCP/UDP and multicast networking, kernel-bypass stacks (Onload, VMA, DPDK, or similar), and performance profiling. 
•  Experience with distributed systems, large data sets, and SQL, NoSQL, or tick databases.
• Ability to program in a scientific computing environment (Python/NumPy/pandas) for research and tooling. 
• Strong verbal and written communication skills; sound judgment in production trading environments. 
• Bachelor's degree or higher in CS, Engineering, or another technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

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
