Senior Software Developer

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. We value autonomy and the ability to quickly pivot to capture opportunities, so we operate using our own capital and trading at our own risk.

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. We have also leveraged our expertise and technology to expand into three non-traditional strategies: real estate, venture capital and cryptoassets.

We operate with respect, curiosity and open minds. The people who thrive here share our belief that it’s not just what we do that matters–it's how we do it. DRW is a place of high expectations, integrity, innovation and a willingness to challenge consensus.

As a Senior Software Developer on the Trading Data Engineering team, you'll be part of a tight knit group of Software Developers working closely with internal users (traders, quants) to develop innovative research and trading analysis tools. As the independent source of truth for the Macro and Equity trading desks, the TDE team makes data universally accessible and useful. Our tools collect, connect, and visualize critical data, enabling Trading, Quant, and Technology teams to generate the insights that drive peak performance.

We care deeply about preserving a respectful and diverse team culture. We believe in choosing the right tech for the job, whether that means learning something new or reviving something old. We value business impact and outcomes, and we let data drive our decisions. And as business priorities shift, we adapt quickly.
