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 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.

We are on the lookout for a proficient and seasoned Reference Data Engineer to become a crucial part of our team, focusing on refining and improving our reference data systems. This is a chance to significantly influence the efficiency of our trading.

Qualifications & Skills :

  • 5+ years of professional experience with financial reference data management
  • Deep understanding of operational concerns around reference data management, including corporate actions and reconciliation
  • Proficient in Python for data manipulation and automation
  • Experience with relational databases for data storage and retrieval
  • Strong communication skills for effective collaboration with team members and stakeholders
  • Critical thinker who takes ownership of projects and is comfortable challenging consensus

What you’ll be working on :

  • Participate in the design, development, and upkeep of reference data systems
  • Support the introduction of new markets and products through data collection, implementation, testing, and system upgrades
  • Manage the acquisition and oversight of trading data from exchanges
  • Utilize domain-specific expertise to maintain the accuracy, consistency, and timeliness of reference data
  • Take ownership and proactively propose enhancements for the reference data infrastructure
  • Simplify the request process for new market and product inclusions
  • Implement comprehensive automation for corporate actions
  • Advance the trade reconciliation process
  • Oversee data in non-PROD environments by adding UAT instruments, streamlining data sync from PROD, and resolving data issues
  • Prepare and manage compliance reports for orders, fills, end-of-day positions, price limits, and trading boundaries
  • Provide high-quality data solutions efficiently, while adhering to best practices
  • Collaborate with DevOps and support teams on various projects
  • This position encompasses the entire data lifecycle, from requirements and design to implementation and production releases. Strong communication skills are vital. If you are an experienced data engineer with a background in trading infrastructure and a passion for technological advancement, we invite you to apply.

    The annual base salary range for this position is $150,000 to $225,000 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.
