Full Job Description

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:

DV Trading is looking for a proven Options Trader who wants the freedom to run capital, scale ideas quickly, and trade on high-performance trading infrastructure tailored to our business. This is an opportunity for a trader with a demonstrated ability to generate alpha through options-based strategies across correlated products, volatility, and market structure opportunities. The ideal candidate already knows how to manage risk, adapt to changing market conditions, and execute with discipline, and is looking for the infrastructure, capital, and autonomy to grow a strategy without the constraints typical of larger institutions.

Job Responsibilities:

Run and scale your own options-focused trading strategies using DV Trading's capital
Identify, execute, and grow opportunities across options, volatility, equities, and related futures markets
Develop, refine, and optimize models, signals, and execution strategies to improve performance and scalability
Own risk management, positioning, and P&L with a high degree of autonomy and accountability
Analyze market structure, volatility dynamics, and relative value opportunities to generate alpha
Leverage DV Trading's trading technology and infrastructure to expand your trading business
Continuously evaluate and evolve strategies to add new revenue streams and improve consistency across market conditions

Requirements:

2+ years of experience trading options, equities, futures, or related products in a professional trading environment
Verifiable track record of consistent profitability and risk-adjusted performance
Strong understanding of options trading, volatility, market structure, and relative value dynamics
Demonstrated expertise in strategy development, execution, and disciplined risk management
Quantitative skillset with expertise in options pricing and quantitative tools
Ability to clearly articulate your trading edge and decision-making process
Experience scaling strategies and managing larger allocations of capital is strongly preferred
Self-directed trader who operates effectively without heavy oversight or structure
High level of ownership, discipline, integrity, and accountability
Clean regulatory and compliance record
Background at a proprietary trading firm, bank, or hedge fund is preferred; experience in credit or rates volatility trading is a plus

Annual compensation range $120–160K base + performance-based bonus
