Jump Trading is an American proprietary trading firm founded in Chicago in 1999 that trades its own capital across futures, equities, options, fixed income and cryptocurrency using automated strategies. It is unusually secretive even by the standards of its industry, publishes almost nothing, and competes on latency, research quality and infrastructure it builds itself, including its own microwave and fibre network routes. Headquartered in Chicago with offices in London, Singapore, Shanghai and elsewhere, it employs researchers, quantitative developers and low-latency engineers, and it also operates the crypto arm Jump Crypto.

Jump Trading Group is committed to world class research. We empower exceptional talents in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science to seek scientific boundaries, push through them, and apply cutting edge research to global financial markets. Our culture is unique. Constant innovation requires fearlessness, creativity, intellectual honesty, and a relentless competitive streak. We believe in winning together and unlocking unique individual talent by incenting collaboration and mutual respect. At Jump, research outcomes drive more than superior risk adjusted returns. We design, develop, and deploy technologies that change our world, fund start-ups across industries, and partner with leading global research organizations and universities to solve problems.

Our trading teams are each comprised of a dynamic group of traders, quantitative researchers, and engineers who work together to examine the global markets, seeking to understand the complexities of various traded products and exchanges.
