Graduate Developer Program Chicago 2027
Maven Securities is a leading proprietary trading firm that leverages sophisticated technology and quantitative analysis to trade in global financial markets. We specialize in options and derivatives market making, where your skills can be directly applied to have a real impact.
At Maven, we believe exceptional careers are built deliberately. Our graduate program is designed for a small number of high-potential individuals each year, combining comprehensive training, real responsibility, and long-term development. We don’t hire large classes with the expectation that only a few will succeed, we invest in every individual who joins the team.
Chicago (based in London for training period)
6th September 2027
Rolling basis
Total compensation: $140k-$170k
You’ll begin with a structured 10-week training program in London, designed to prepare you for a career in software development. This initial phase focuses on building the technical foundations and professional skills needed for the role, as well as forming crucial working relationships with your UK counterparts - both on the Graduate Program and more senior stakeholders.
Following training, you’ll return to Chicago and roll onto two 14-week rotations, where you’ll continue to learn through hands-on experience. Maven offers a few days of leave to support this transition, as well as travel, accommodation and relocation support.
