About the role
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 Senior Research Software Engineer (Python) to join our Commodities trading group to build a first-in-class platform for quantitative & fundamental research for several trading desks. You will work with researchers and traders to create a robust and productive environment for data analysis, research and modelling. Our work spans exploratory analysis & research through to real-time analytics & modelling supporting our day-to-day trading decisions. You will be immersed in research across many trading styles and time horizons and will be enthusiastic to refine our working processes to deliver high quality work that is robust and scales as we grow. You will use your experience to shape our infrastructure and build supporting software, processes & tools as needed. This environment is data intensive, and our researchers largely work in Python.
