We are PEAK6, a leading investment firm. You'll find us headquartered in the historic Chicago Board of Trade building, where we first opened our doors in 1997. It's been over 20 years since we were one of the first firms to develop sophisticated proprietary technology to use in our trading business. Today, we continue to leverage our technical ingenuity and operational excellence across several investment areas, spanning early-to-mid stage growth capital, operational control, trading, and e-sports, while always proving value to the customer. Throughout the years, we've built and operated several financial technology firms, and we continue to evolve. You'll find a bit of everything here, and we're always looking to take on new endeavors. 

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Execution team, a regular day could include reviewing the execution system with the team and identify tech debt and opportunities to capture additional value, collaborating with traders to iterate on automated strategies, and writing Java code with other engineers on the team to build out the future of PEAK6’s execution system. Additionally, Staff Software Engineers regularly participate in and contribute to regular architecture cadences, drive discussions and decisions on coding standards and practices, mentor other engineers and help reinforce and improve PEAK6’s engineering culture. 

On the Execution team, you’ll be responsible for: 

  • Collaborating with trading and technology teams on trading strategy and algorithm implementations. 
  • Owning execution of key initiatives that align with strategic business plans. 
  • Providing influence and critical inputs into strategic business plans and trading system architecture. 
  • Creating improvements in stability, performance, and scalability across major business-critical systems. 
  • Full lifecycle software development to develop trading strategies/algorithms, implement trading risk and administrative controls, and interface with exchanges and brokers. 
  • Performing manual and automated testing to confirm strategy/algorithm behavior, efficacy of trading system controls, and overall system stability. 
  • Optimizing and monitoring critical path performance. 
  • Troubleshooting production issues quickly and efficiently. 

You’ll gain loads of experience in this role but before you do, you should have: 

  • Proficiency in Java. Go or Python is a nice to have! 
  • Willingness to prepare and pass relevant regulatory examinations to attain a FINRA Series 57 certification. 
  • Experience with Financial Information eXchange (FIX) Protocol 
  • Bachelors or Masters Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related. 
  • 8+ years trading or finance industry experience. 
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with high attention to detail. 
  • Familiarity with Linux platform. 
  • Effective communication skills. 
  • Passion for mentoring engineers and building software as part of a team 

Does our Engineering DNA Match yours?   

  • We collaborate in small, agile teams to learn and develop innovative technology  
  • We like to develop impactful features fast so we can share directly with our end-users and iterate quickly  
  • We’re focused on well-defined software delivery and continuous learning  
  • People are everything and our support for each other is abundant 
  • Through open source technology, we continue to evolve our tech stacks while looking for ways to contribute back to the community 
  • Whether you’re new to our tech stack or an expert, we encourage each team member to experiment with new technologies and take ownership of projects.   
  • We love to have fun and dedicate time to exploring new technologies and ideas through Tech Days and Hackathons.   

*Due to the unprecedented situation of COVID-19, PEAK6 has decided to protect our current and future employees by managing our business remotely. This is inclusive of interviewing, onboarding and each role day-to-day. Please consider that our roles will not be remote long-term and will return to an office setting once we're safe to do so following the guidance of local health authorities and the CDC.

Michelle Williams
Executive Director of Fintech In Action
Bridging the Divide
Empowering others to take on new challenges
Williams describes Fintech in Action — of which she is executive director — as “a coalition of 30-plus action-oriented fintech and finance firms focused on accelerating progress, innovation and opportunity for Black talent.” One of her most memorable projects was investing $1 million in Greenwood Project, a Black-led organization that creates career pathways for Black, Latinx and underrepresented students.
The $1 million invested allowed Greenwood Project to increase the number of students they served by 160 percent, and allowed all 2021 participants to receive a stipend during the duration of their training.
Sendhil Revuluri
Managing Director, Strategic Development
An Educator’s Mind
Trusted by others
After years of passionate work with city schools in New York City and Chicago, Revuluri was appointed by Mayor Lori Lightfoot to sit on the increasingly diverse Chicago Board of Education. He brings much of what he’s learned in education to PEAK6 Investments, while also incorporating new techniques. “While I sometimes function as a strategic planner or coach, I am — like everyone at PEAK6 Investments is — also a doer every day,” Revuluri said.
If we can talk about race at work, then I’m pretty sure talking about business — however contentious the question or however divergent the opinions — is going to be easier.
Brianna Rodgers
Chairwoman of DEI Council
At the Forefront of Inclusion
Building ERGs from the ground up
Rodgers believes that PEAK6 Investments’ diversity comes not only from its DEI council and ERGs, but also its structure. “The wonderful thing about PEAK6 Investments is that it is made up of a number of different companies that cover different industries,” said Rodgers. “This causes our company culture to naturally foster diversity of thought, which is essential to building an inclusive workplace.”
At PEAK6 Investments, we are tackling DEI work in a meaningful way that will result in sustainable and scalable change, and we are starting with inclusion work.

PEAK6 Benefits Overview

At PEAK6, you’ll find flexibility with our work-life balance, a collaborative spirit and the ability to cater to your strengths while having opportunities to cultivate new ones.

PEAK6 is committed to addressing barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In June of 2020, PEAK6 created Fintech in Action, a coalition dedicated to Black inclusion in finance and fintech. As part of Fintech in Action we’ve partnered with Greenwood Project, a non-profit that introduces Black and other minority high school and college students to careers in the financial industry with paid summer internships, educational field trips and its summer Financial Institute.

Additionally, PEAK6 established Poker Power, a company led by women for women with the goal of teaching one million women how to play the game of poker—and the skills required to play that also predict success in work and in life. Through a global network of clubs, tournaments and corporate events, Poker Power utilizes gameplay (not gambling) to help women build confidence, challenge the status quo, learn strategy and assess risk in a fun, supportive, safe-to-fail environment. By empowering women with these skills, the organization plans to change the future for generations to come.

An Insider's view of PEAK6

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

This is very important and luckily, we feel it’s something attainable for our employees. We have a generous time off policy, in addition to other affiliated vacation perks and leave benefits.
For example, to help employees save time on conventional tasks, we offer complementary services in the office, such as manicures, massages, and yoga classes.

Courtney Kuhnen

Human Resources Business Partner

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

Our developers are also a part of the decision-making process. We help our technologists take an interest in the business side of things - they know how the end product should work. Our developers know how the traders are going to use a product and after a product is delivered, the developer stays involved – making sure that things work efficently.

Rishi Kamath

QA Development Lead

How does the company support your career growth?

We have a big focus on career growth, especially for those in technology. Because of our size, there are opportunities to prove yourself and rapidly increase your responsibility on a team. And because of Peak6’s culture of constantly trying new things, there are often opportunities to get in at the ground floor of new ventures in a leadership role

Paul Whalen

Software Engineer

What unique initiatives do you have that encourage innovation?

We organize “tech days” where employees are encouraged to work on tech projects of their choosing. Projects have ranged from mobile apps to Sega emulators to workflow improvements for our developers. Recently, tech days took the form of a more formal hackathon, in which technologists and traders teamed up to prototype several new trading tools.

Luke Peeler

Software Engineer

What’s the vibe like in the office?

I like working at PEAK6 because there’s always something exciting to work on and I’m always learning something new. It’s also a privilege to work with so many smart people that are never hesitant to act as mentors. Lastly, PEAK6 gives me the opportunity to wear many different hats – I’m never restricted to working on just one thing.
