About the role

About Us:

Founded two decades ago and headquartered in Chicago, the DV Group of financial services firms has grown to more than 600 people across North America, Europe and Asia. Since becoming an independent proprietary trading firm in 2016, DV Trading has scaled rapidly using its own capital, strategies and risk management to provide liquidity to markets worldwide. DV Group affiliates today include two broker-dealers, a cryptocurrency market maker and a growing investment adviser.
DV Equities is the group's Asia-Pacific equities and futures market-making business, trading cash equities, ETFs, index futures and related products on exchanges across the region.

Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated, quick-learning Software Developer to join our DV Equities desk. In this role, you will be involved in the development of our cutting-edge, low-latency trading platform, which competes in the most competitive markets in the world. You will work across the full technology stack—from high-performance exchange connectivity and execution engines to data pipelines and research tooling—with a primary focus on either C++ or Python, depending on your background and team fit. Familiarity with the other languages is a plus.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Depending on your primary language, you will focus on either low-latency system development (C++) or data/research tooling (Python), while collaborating across the full stack
  • Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, low-latency trading systems and infrastructure using C++
  • Build and optimize data pipelines, backtesting frameworks, and research tools using Python
  • Work alongside senior traders, quantitative researchers, and experienced software developers to enhance existing trading systems and identify new opportunities
  • Optimize system performance, throughput, and reliability at both the microsecond and batch-processing levels
  • Conduct code reviews, maintain high coding standards, and contribute to architectural decisions

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field from an accredited institution
  • 3+ years of professional software engineering experience in financial services, trading, or a similarly performance-critical environment
  • Strong proficiency in either C++ or Python (with working knowledge of the other being highly preferred)
  • Deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, memory management, and multi-threading
  • Experience with Linux/Unix environments and networking fundamentals
  • Detail-oriented with a strong work ethic and the ability to learn quickly in a fast-paced environment
  • Genuine interest in algorithmic trading and financial markets
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
