Job description

As a Software Engineer on one of the Unified Platform teams, you'll be part of a tight knit team of software engineers working closely with internal users (analysts, quants, traders) to develop innovative systems that enable research and trading. You'll experiment with emerging technologies to process data at scale. You’ll wrestle a mountain of data into human understandable insights.

We care deeply about preserving a respectful and diverse team culture. We are a group of polyglots and technologists always seeking to find the right tool for each problem, even if that means learning something new or reviving something old. We value business impact and outcomes over process, and we make decisions based on data. We strive to adapt quickly as business priorities change.

What you’ll do in this role:

• Develop tools to enable the business to rapidly embrace new opportunities in global markets
• Partner closely with internal customers to understand their needs and build intuitive self-service tools
• Develop software for large scale data acquisition, storage, accessibility, and visualization
• Work with a team to maintain and extend our global markets reach
• Learn about market microstructure, financial instruments, and markets in which DRW participates or wants to participate in

This could be a good fit if you:

• Are motivated to solve hard problems with deceptively simple solutions
• Think a lot about user experience and try to really understand end users’ jobs and pain points
• Think a lot about APIs, modular design and testing
• Love refactoring and keep trying until you find a better answer
• Enjoy making the “right way to do it” the path of least resistance
• Have made a random tool for yourself—and then peers ask for it—then other teams ask for it
• Are fiercely proud of your project’s reliability, performance and ease of maintenance
• Are excited to learn about financial markets, trading, etc.

What we need on the team:

• At least 2-3 years of platform-level software development experience
• Strong computer science fundamentals; a degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience
• Strong experience with Java, Python or any modern programming language
• Experience processing high volumes of data at scale
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• Comfort working within a globally-distributed team
• A background in some of the following a bonus:Java experiencePython experienceRuby experienceBig data technologies: Spark, Trino, KafkaFinancial Markets experienceSQL: Postgres, OracleCloud-native deployments: AWS, Docker, KubernetesObservability: Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana
