DV Trading

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

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

Compensation

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

Base Salary Range: $120,000 – $160,000 USD.

Equal Employment Opportunity

DV is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
