If you have a creative idea or see a unique opportunity in the market, you’re almost obligated to pursue it. And because of the short lines of communication you can start working on it the same day.

We operate in Brazil and US markets from our office and Amsterdam. We are currently expanding to Mumbai and will start trading in the Indian market from there.


Da Vinci has a non-hierarchical organisational structure. This means that we foster an open and fair work environment where people are encouraged to speak up and are rewarded for their efforts. As a graduate you will be sitting next to experienced traders and researchers in the field who will be giving direct and useful feedback.

Da Vinci is a place where smart, passionate and ambitious people from all around the world grow together and are empowered to share their ideas. When you join our team, we want you to feel like you are not only amongst colleagues but also friends, that your voice is heard and your contribution matters. This open and inspiring environment helps us to be flexible and able to implement new strategies successfully.


Our process consists of 5-6 stages beginning with the submission of your CV and Motivation Letter. If all goes well you will proceed to the next stage which is an online Numerical Test consisting mostly of mental math questions. If you are applying for a Trader role the next step is an HR Interview, Engineers and Researchers will be sent a programming challenge before continuing to the HR Interview. If you succeed there is a Technical Interview with someone who has a similar role to yours. Finally we have round called 'Final Assessment'. The Final Assessment will be with one or more founders of the company as a way for you and us to get to know each other and ask any final questions. Usually the final assessment is at the office to give applicants an opportunity to meet people and familiarize themselves with the space they will be working at. If it turns out you would be a great fit for our team you'll become our new colleague!
