From DV Trading's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.
DV is looking for a full-time right hand to the head of a highly profitable fixed-income relative-value trading desk. The team combines rigorous market analysis, sophisticated technology, and disciplined risk-taking to identify and capture opportunities across global fixed-income markets.
We operate like an entrepreneurial trading business, not a bureaucracy. Decisions are made quickly. Good ideas are tested aggressively. Everyone is expected to take ownership, solve problems, and do whatever is necessary to get the job done.
The learning curve will be steep, the standards will be unforgiving, and the hours will be driven by the markets and the work-not by the clock. For the right person, the upside is exceptional: direct exposure to portfolio construction, trade execution, quantitative research, technology development, and risk management from day one.
Northfield, Illinois
Work directly with the head of the trading desk on live positions, research, execution, and risk management.
Monitor fixed-income markets, relative-value relationships, portfolio exposures, and trading opportunities.
Build and improve analytical tools, trading systems, data pipelines, dashboards, and automated workflows.
Research new strategies and test ideas using market data and quantitative methods.
Investigate pricing discrepancies and explain what is driving changes in markets and portfolio performance.
Execute accurately under pressure and follow through relentlessly.
Take responsibility for operational details that cannot be allowed to fail.
Learn the desk’s investment process from the inside and gradually assume greater trading and risk-taking responsibility.
Compensation
Competitive base salary plus discretionary performance bonus
