Our People

A welcome alternative to the industry giants — and a place people stay.
Here are a few reasons why:

TradingBlock appeals to me because it is a small, profitable fintech in downtown Chicago that was built by and for traders. I feel like I can make an impact here.

Mike R., PhD

"I get to build real tools that traders actually use. You see the impact of your work here, and that never gets old."

Kevin M, Principal Software Engineer

“The industry is changing fast, and we’re agile enough to stay ahead of it. I love that!”

Gino S., Sales and Trading Manager

I’ve been at big firms before, and this is completely different. Small team, sharp people, and everyone actually cares about building the best product.

Paul L., Software Engineer

This is the most cohesive, creative team I’ve worked with. We’re not locked into long established procedures. We design new procedures continually and tailor solutions for our clients.

Robert W., CFO

I genuinely enjoy coming to work again, which is something I haven’t experienced in quite some time!

Michael M., Vice President of Market Strategy

Our Culture

Building TradingBlock block-by-block, and having fun along the way.

We keep things simple. Most of the team is in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which keeps collaboration tight and the pace fast.

Wednesdays come with free lunch, poker nights bring everyone together after hours, and company outings give us a chance to step away and actually enjoy the people we work with.
