Source confidence: Official + candidate reports · Last reviewed: 7 Sept 2026. Exact process varies by role, office, and year.
Belvedere Trading is a Chicago-based proprietary trading firm active in options and derivatives markets. Its official campus process uses a role-specific timed challenge, a virtual technical and behavioral interview with a current employee, and a half-day final that may be virtual or in person. For campus resume review, Belvedere says it does not screen by school, major, or GPA. Quantitative Trader candidates receive a probability and logic challenge, while developers receive a coding challenge on fundamental technical concepts. Candidate-reported timing, exact questions, and final-round formats vary.
