Job description

About Us

Founded more than 15 years ago and headquartered in Chicago, the DV Group of financial services firms has grown to more than 450 people operating throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East 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

For this very specific role, DV Trading is actively seeking to hire solely experienced traders or trading teams who have recent, relevant, successful strategies with a proven record of success. The only applications that will be considered for this role are ones coming from reputed prop firms, pod shops, or hedge funds, but please bear in mind, returns must be prop-like in nature. Also, while we love speaking with Forex traders, Mr TopStep and other funded traders, respectfully this type of trade activity doesn't qualify for this role, so please bear that in mind as you contemplate applying.

• UPDATE*** DV Trading is experiencing rapid positive change, we like to think by the day. We are always trying to align ourselves with the best trading minds on the street. DV, and any successful proprietary trading firm, for matter, must have a DNA comprised of not just highly competitive people, but ones of the highest moral character. This cannot be overstated. If this is you, please apply! I/we will look forward to connecting with you and exploring possibilities!
