The posting

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.

  • Collaborating with various business, development, IT, and trading support teams
  • Provide on-call support as part of our team-wide rotation
  • Keep open communication with our users for support, testing, and ensuring understanding of their needs

Qualifications:

  • Experience using applied mathematics (linear algebra, optimization, numerical methods)
  • Strong understanding of statistics and probabilities
  • Quantitative modeling of financial products and derivatives
  • Fluent in functional, object-oriented, or imperative programming languages
  • Competent in distributed version control, CI/CD, Docker, and Kubernetes

Familiarity with:

  • One of the following programming languages: Elixir, Python, Java, C#
  • One systems level programming language: C, C++, Rust
  • Pricing, risk management, and portfolio analytics
  • Exchange-traded financial assets, statistics, or financial engineering
  • Data structures and design/analysis of algorithms

Personal traits:

  • Possesses the ability to learn, adapt and grow
  • Demonstrates personal humility, respect for others, and trust in their teammates
  • Capable of independently driving projects to completion but prefers collaborating with teammates
  • Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills, but has better listening and communication skills

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
