Description For Software Engineer - Risk

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.

This team builds and maintains services which calculate analytic measures across many asset classes, predict theoretical market outcomes based on user-defined what-if scenarios, and return analytics for any time horizon.

As a Software Engineer in this role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining greenfield and legacy API, service, and application platforms. You'll be coding in multiple languages, collaborating with various teams, and providing on-call support. The ideal candidate should have experience in applied mathematics, strong understanding of statistics and probabilities, and be fluent in functional, object-oriented, and imperative programming languages.

This role offers an opportunity to work on challenging problems in the financial industry, collaborating closely with risk managers and trading desks to measure option and rate sensitivities and create applications to monitor, manage, and report analytic measures. Join us if you're passionate about technology, finance, and want to make a significant impact in a dynamic trading environment.
