Job description

Trading Analyst (Python)

Chicago

Maven is a market-leading proprietary trading firm deploying its own capital across discretionary, systematic, and market-making strategies. Backed by deep expertise in trading, technology, and research, we are relentlessly focused on improving liquidity across global listed derivatives. Through advanced execution and pricing technologies, we improve how financial markets operate.

The Role

You'll join an Options Market Making desk as a Trading Analyst. You'll analyse trading data, prototype strategies with traders, and build tools that help the desk make better decisions.

We've invested in modern tooling including AI so you can move fast and spend your time on the problems that matter. Markets generate questions faster than anyone can answer them, and your job is to figure out which ones matter, find good answers, and explain what you've found to people who'll act on it.

We're looking for someone who's curious about markets, thinks creatively about problems, and is willing to challenge an answer whoever or whatever produced it.

What The Work Looks Like

  • Digging into trading data, surfacing patterns, and producing analysis the desk can act on
  • Working directly with traders to prototype ideas, test hypotheses, and iterate on strategies
  • Building scripts, dashboards, and automated workflows that make the desk smarter over time
  • Framing trading problems in ways that get the most out of our tooling
  • Spotting operational improvements, data anomalies, and strategy refinements and bringing them to the desk

Who You Are

How you think

  • You enjoy deep analysis of problems and get energized by questions you don't yet know how to answer
  • You don't trust an output just because it looks polished you verify and iterate
  • You're comfortable testing ideas under uncertainty
  • You explain complex things clearly

What you know

  • Strong Python you can write it, read it, debug it, and confidently review code
  • Solid numerical and analytical skills comfortable with statistical reasoning and data interpretation
  • SQL, or the willingness to learn it quickly
  • Some experience with AI tools for analysis, coding, or research we don't expect mastery, but you should have been experimenting

Who you are

  • Interested in financial markets, derivatives, and how markets work
  • You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks
  • You make the people around you more effective
  • You're adaptable the tools and landscape shift constantly

Nice To Have

  • Experience in a trading environment or financial services
  • Experience building dashboards, data pipelines, or analytical tools
  • A portfolio, GitHub profile, or side projects we care more about how you think and build than where you studied

Why Maven

  • Your analysis will directly shape trading decisions from day one
  • Competitive compensation in a high-performance environment
  • Be part of a firm that embodies integrity and fairness, market leadership, creativity, individual and collective success, discipline and accountability
