Belvedere Trading

Belvedere Trading is a proprietary trading firm and market maker, founded in 2002, specializing in equity index and commodity derivatives. The firm provides liquidity to the marketplace by posting two-sided quotes at competitive prices, and operates across four offices: Chicago (headquarters), Boulder, New York and Singapore.

Technology is developed in-house. Dedicated engineering teams build proprietary trading models and software systems from the ground up, working alongside traders, and continually re-engineer, optimize and maintain them. The firm's technical work spans high-performance software engineering, trading model development and optimization, market-making systems, and algorithmic and quantitative trading systems. It describes high-performance development as a competitive advantage and invests iteratively in its own technology.

The company is organised around five major departments and states a set of core values centred on teamwork, merit-based growth, an ownership mentality and continuous innovation. It describes itself as an employees-first firm with a team-based, holistic approach to development.
