Software Engineer, Cumberland/FICCO Tools Engineering
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.
About the Team:
DRW C/FICCO Tools Engineering team intimately collaborates with traders to turn alpha signals, risk management, market visualizations and other trading-critical tools into scalable, performant and reliable production systems. We embed deeply with our customers to solve high-impact, complex problems. We move quickly when we prototype, and we tread lightly when we ship to production. We operate at the intersection of ensuring customer success and creating quality products that stand the test of time. We work closely with Data Engineering, Research Engineering, and Execution Engineering.
About the Role:
Software Engineers at Tools Engineering operate in two very distinct but organically interconnected modes.
- During a Forward Deployment, you will be directly embedded onto a trading desk, where you will be tasked to navigate business context, ambiguity in requirements, trade-offs, and urgency to deliver. You will promote a mutually beneficial relationship with the trading desks by building them specialized solutions to solve their greatest problems, while at the same time building up domain specific knowledge.
- After returning from a Forward Deployment, you will leverage the knowledge you gained from the process, extract reusable patterns, and make the tools available for all trading desks.
In this role you will:
- Work with best-in-class trading tools for a collection of Cumberland and FICC options trading desks
- Take full ownership of the products you create, from prototype to stable production
- Embed with trading desks, learn about their problem spaces, extract domain models, and build ergonomic, performant and extendable engineering solutions
- Build, maintain and extend the central trading platform
- Work with both greenfield and legacy systems across multiple languages (Python, Java, C++, Typescript)
- Provide on-call support as needed
Qualifications:
- A minimum of 2+ years' experience using Python, Java, C++, and can work comfortably in multiple programming languages
- A track record of working directly with end customers, scoping and delivering production systems in fast-moving and ambiguous environments
- Ability to dive deep into complex problems, develop intuitive understandings, spot risks early, and minimize complexity
- Exceptional interpersonal skills - you communicate clearly with stakeholders as well as other engineers, fostering a collaborative, supportive working environment.
- Experience in the financial markets, especially in delta one store of value and/or FICC options trading
- Experience with linux-based, concurrent, high-throughput, low-latency software systems
- Experience with functional programming is a plus
- Have a Bachelors or advanced degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, or equivalent work experience
The annual base salary range for this position is $175k to $225k, depending on the candidate's experience, qualifications, and relevant skill set. The position is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus. In addition, DRW offers a comprehensive suite of employee benefits including group medical, pharmacy, dental and vision insurance, 401k (with discretionary employer match), short and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance, health savings accounts, and flexible spending accounts.
