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.

  • Monitor market developments, economic events, and volatility regimes that influence equity index options markets.
  • Collaborate with quantitative researchers and developers to improve pricing models, execution tools, and trading workflows.
  • Provide feedback on trading systems, analytics, and risk management tools to drive continuous improvement.
  • Contribute new trading ideas and strategies that enhance the team's performance.
  • Maintain disciplined risk management while operating in highly competitive markets.
What We're Looking ForRequired Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, or another quantitative discipline.
  • 3+ years of professional experience trading listed equity index options.
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Equity index options pricing
  • Volatility surfaces and term structure
  • Greeks and options risk management
  • Market microstructure and execution
  • Demonstrated ability to make sound decisions in fast-moving markets.
  • Excellent analytical and quantitative skills.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Proven ability to manage risk responsibly.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for continuous learning and improvement.

The annual base salary range for this position is $150,000 to $250,000 depending on the candidate's experience, qualifications, and relevant skill set. The position is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus.
