Software Engineer, Market Data - Cumberland

New York City

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.

We are looking for a Market Data Developer to join our Cumberland team. This role is responsible for building and supporting a C++ based technology stack that empowers Cumberland to trade across many exchanges and regions using a wide range of strategies.

As a member of this team, you will work with other software engineers to design and develop the full stack of software needed to support a global trading operation. You are expected to design and develop market data solutions, monitoring systems, and tools to integrate with DRW’s core infrastructure services.

Candidates should have strong initiative and have proven experience independently driving projects to completion. We work from high-level requirements and programmers are expected to gain an intimate understanding of the business and work directly with Traders and Quantitative Researchers on a daily basis.

• Testing at the unit, functional, and integration level
• Working on legacy code as well as greenfield development
• Providing on-call support as needed
• Collaborating with traders, researchers, and software engineers within our group as well as elsewhere within the organization

Qualifications

• Experience designing, developing, and supporting mission critical, high-performance applications
• 5+ years of professional, modern (C++20 and beyond) C++ experience
• 3+ years of professional script development experience, preferably Python
• Demonstrated knowledge of network communication, including multicast and WebSockets
• Experience with inter-process messaging, micro-service architectures, and API design
• Experience with trading systems is desirable, but not required
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent degree
