Job Description

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 are a small development team within DRW supporting multiple web-based GUIs used by traders and IT across the globe. Our code is primarily written in TypeScript, utilizing Node, NestJS, and Docker for back-end microservices; React powers the front-end.

We're seeking a Senior JavaScript/TypeScript Engineer to join our team as we scale to more users within the company. The position offers the opportunity to work on both front-end and back-end code, tight feedback with users, and opportunity to influence the design and architecture of a growing system.

Requirements:

• Strong software engineering background

• Strong experience in JavaScript/TypeScript or other object-oriented programming

• Experience in performance tuning data-intensive systems

• Comfortable with ownership of a significantly large and complex codebase

Desirable skills:

• Experience with refactoring existing software to provide performance or architectural improvements while preserving current functionality

• Experience with Docker

• Experience with writing integration tests

• Experience optimizing distributed systems

• Open-source contributions or side projects

• Experience or interest in finance
