DRW is a diversified trading firm with over 3 decades of experience bringing sophisticated technology and exceptional people together to operate in markets around the world.

Headquartered in Chicago with offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, we trade a variety of asset classes including Fixed Income, ETFs, Equities, FX, Commodities and Energy across all major global markets.

In this role, you will be collaborating with people across the firm to provide cutting‑edge technology solutions that expand our existing trading platform, all while promoting software engineering best practices. You will be presented with an opportunity to work on high‑profile projects that have an impact across the organization.

  • Manage the day‑to‑day technology requirements of our proprietary trading systems.
  • Accelerate trading and research analysis workflows by utilizing and expanding on DRW’s in‑house infrastructure and improve productivity
  • Evaluate new technologies and identify/deprecate legacy code to improve on the current technological stack
  • Collaborate with other engineers, traders, and researchers to design custom frameworks or end‑user solutions
  • Write performance sensitive code and user‑friendly APIs to facilitate access to our in‑house data analysis infrastructure
  • Lead design discussions and conduct code reviews to maintain high standards and quality of written code

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related Engineering discipline
  • Minimum of 3 years of experience building demanding, live systems in Python
  • In‑depth knowledge of Python and keeps up with current standards (3.11 onwards)
  • Up‑to‑date knowledge of the Python ecosystem: third party libraries, packaging in‑built Python libraries.
  • Solid understanding of data structures
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Knowledge of CI software, such as TeamCity or Jenkins
  • Familiarity with Linux
  • Ability to mentor others and lead small projects
  • Experience in the trading industry
