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.

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.

DRW is looking for an outstanding Software Engineer with an expertise in C++ to work in our Singapore office. In this role, you will be a part of our Core Infrastructure team which is responsible for designing, developing and maintaining DRW's low latency trading platform which is deployed global.  You will be tasked with working on various areas of the technical stack including order routing, market data, and risk systems.

• Have experience working with C++ libraries like STL and Boost

• Are up to date on the C++23 standards and have opinions about them

• Have worked on challenging projects that involved things like building a custom compiler, writing a matching engine, or working with large amounts of data in real time

• Have strong English verbal and written communication skills

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience working in the trading industry or another ultra-low latency sensitive business that involves solving remarkably complex problems

• Experience working with Research teams and Quants

• Experience working within gaming or streaming
