About the company

Da Vinci is a proprietary trading house that develops and operates its own trading strategies. Its teams—traders, software engineers, researchers, and founders—work closely together to create and deploy algorithmic and data-driven trading approaches, aiming to outperform traditional methods. The company emphasizes a nonhierarchical culture, flexible internal mobility, and personal growth, with ownership and collaboration at the core of daily work. Its Amsterdam base connects it to a long trading history, but the product itself is built around smart, team-driven trading ideas and execution rather than external services. The goal is to become the best proprietary trading firm in the world by continually improving how they work and grow as a team.
