We are a small, nimble, growing firm, and we're always looking to add exceptional people. This post is an open door for you to express interest, even if our respective timelines are not currently aligned. We're building an inbound pipeline of great people, and we'd rather meet you now than miss you later. If you're curious about BlackEdge, send us your resume and we will take it from there. WHO THIS IS FOR This is for experienced applicants - typically more than two years in your field. Our roles fall into three broad areas: * Trading - Hands-on traders, quantitative researchers, data scientists, floor traders, and other support roles. * Technology - Engineers of all kinds: software, hardware, data, DevOps, systems, and more. * Operations - Finance, HR, Risk, and Compliance. Tell us where you fit, and what you'd want to work on. ABOUT BLACKEDGE CAPITAL BlackEdge Capital is a proprietary options market maker built on industry-leading technology and a deeply collaborative culture. We compete at the highest technical level in electronic markets, and we win by pairing exceptional engineering with incisive research. Everyone here is a genuine partner in the trading process, embedded in the strategy, close to the technology, and shaping the direction of the firm itself. WHAT IT TAKES TO WORK HERE The bar is high and the work is real. Across every team, the people who thrive here share a few things: * Real ownership. You run your own work in production, with the support to do it well. Impact is immediate and measurable. * Depth over speed. You care more about understanding how things actually work - markets, pricing, and technology - than rushing to ship. Getting it right matters more than getting it out fast. * Low ego, high collaboration. Traders, researchers, and engineers work closely and move in tight, fast feedback loops. Intelligence outweighs seniority. * Competitive drive. We play at the highest level in electronic markets, and we win on excellent execution of creative solutions. We want people who relentlessly pursue victory. HOW WE WORK We are Chicago-based and support remote work. We value clarity and simplicity over cleverness for its own sake, tight feedback loops between trading, technology, and operations, and people who take ownership end to end. Compensation is highly competitive, with significant upside clearly and explicitly tied to firm profit and individual performance. Our model is transparent: bonuses are a share of firm profit, and because your share scales with your performance, a strong year for you and the firm compounds. ---------------------------------------- Interested? Send us your resume and a short note on where you see yourself fitting in. Humans review every submission. We would love to hear from everyone! Even if you are navigating an extended non-compete, are not local to Chicago, or your timing is not immediate, apply anyway. We're flexible about time and place for the right people, and we'd rather start the conversation early. We never let logistics get in the way of finding great talent.
