Job description

Overview

Belvedere Trading is a leading proprietary trading firm. We are a team driven by intellectual curiosity, seeking answers that will change not only how we trade in this technological age, but also the future landscape of the trading industry.

Our traders provide liquidity to the market through their market-making activities and are the masters of a diverse set of commodities, interest rates, exchange-traded funds (ETF), and equity index options. Traders partner with our technologists to continually engineer and optimize our trading systems to stay on top of the industry.

Join the pulse of the trading floor at Belvedere Trading, where tradition and innovation converge in the dynamic environment of the MIAX Sapphire trading floor. As a Floor Trader, you’ll play a critical role in providing liquidity and driving performance in the open outcry marketplace.

We are seeking a seasoned professional with expertise in single stock equity volatility and a background in open outcry or voice/chat market making. This role offers the opportunity to apply your market insights and decision‑making skills in a fast‑paced environment where every trade makes an impact. Experience on the MIAX Sapphire floor or a comparable options trading floor is strongly preferred, particularly in environments that support large, complex orders and combine proprietary technology with open outcry price discovery.

What You’ll Do

• Provide consistent liquidity in assigned options products while supporting efficient, orderly markets.
• Execute floor-based, voice‑assisted, or hybrid options trades with precision and strong commercial judgment.
• Apply proprietary pricing models, volatility analysis, and risk frameworks to manage positions and improve trade selection.
• Monitor market activity, order flow, and quote quality in real time to identify opportunities and respond quickly to changing conditions.
• Partner with technologists and quantitative teams to enhance trading tools, optimize workflows, and improve execution performance.
• Contribute market insight, trade feedback, and post‑trade analysis to help refine strategy and portfolio management.
• Communicate clearly with brokers, counterparties, and internal stakeholders to support effective coordination on the trading floor.
• Operate with strong accountability, risk discipline, and a continuous‑improvement mindset aligned with firm performance goals.

What You’ll Need

• 2+ years of experience in options market‑making at a proprietary trading firm or comparable trading environment.
• Prior floor trading experience on MIAX or a comparable physical exchange.
• Strong understanding of options pricing, volatility, market microstructure, and liquidity provision.
• Ability to apply quantitative skills and logical reasoning to solve complex problems.
• Demonstrated ability to make high‑quality decisions under pressure and manage risk in fast‑moving markets.

Compensation: $175,000 - $250,000 a year plus discretionary bonuses.
