Summary

Software Engineer | Chicago

A technology-driven proprietary trading firm in Chicago is looking for talented software engineers to join its core technology team. Technology sits at the center of the business, and engineers work directly on systems that support electronic trading, market data processing, and execution.

What You'll Work On

Develop and enhance components of a high-performance trading platform
Build systems for data analysis, algorithm development, and execution infrastructure
Design, develop, and maintain efficient, reliable C++ applications in a Linux environment
Collaborate closely with engineers and traders to solve complex technical problems

Ideal Background

4+ years of software engineering experience using C++, Java, C#, or similar languages
At least 3 years of experience working with C++ and Linux/Unix environments strongly preferred
Strong computer science fundamentals
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field (particularly important for candidates with under 5 years of experience)
Financial industry experience is helpful but not required

What They're Looking For

Engineers who can clearly articulate the impact they've had on projects, teams, and business outcomes
Candidates with hands-on experience building production systems rather than solely working within large-scale consumer tech environments
Individuals who are curious, collaborative, and motivated by solving challenging technical problems in a fast-paced environment

Additional Details

Chicago-based role with a 5-day in-office schedule
Candidates should be local or have strong ties to the Chicago area
Employment sponsorship is available
Open to candidates both inside and outside of the trading/finance industry
Competitive base salary plus discretionary bonus potential

Compensation

Base salary: $125,000 - $200,000
Eligible for substantial discretionary bonus
Comprehensive benefits package including health coverage, retirement benefits, parental leave, professional development opportunities, and additional employee perks

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity to work on high-performance systems in a collaborative environment where technology is viewed as a strategic advantage. Engineers have direct visibility into the impact of their work and the chance to contribute across multiple areas of the firm's trading infrastructure.
