Senior Software Engineer - Compliance

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.

The UP (Unified Platform) consolidates data and technologies into a comprehensive solution, accelerating time to market. Optimizing decision-making and research, our platform simplifies implementing new ideas, enhancing our competitive edge. 

UP - Compliance (UP - CMP) is composed of two sub-teams. The teams represent the primary functions in Compliance of Regulatory Reporting and Surveillance. Further there are two streams, which represent the core work supporting both team's data, and manage day to day ad hoc urgent inquiry and audit requests. The compliance teams and streams work closely with the Compliance Officers to deliver systems to meet the firm’s regulatory obligations.

UP - CMP work does not permit a simplistic division of duties across software processes or software engineering specialties, which might be applicable in less dynamic or complex spaces. For this level of dynamism, it is crucial that our Software Engineers work closely with stakeholders and become intimately familiar with the data, definitions and interpretations of a given compliance vertical.

Therefore, this role offers a particularly strong opportunity for a Software Engineer interested in opportunities for consistent learning, technical growth, and working with large scale data sets across numerous asset classes, trading venues and regions, globally.

We are passionate about finding the best team and role for each candidate through the interview process, as we learn more about each person's current skills and long-term development goals.

• Collaborating thoughtfully by working in the open with your teammates and end users.
• Working on legacy code as well as green field development.
• Strong desire to consistently learn by leveraging your time to understand the business needs clearly.
• Learning and promoting new technologies with a focus on best practices.
