Job description

Our formula for success is to hire exceptional people, encourage their ideas and reward their results.
As a Software Developer Intern, you will build advanced trading and risk applications leveraging cutting-edge technology. DRW enables our Software Developer Interns to develop computationally intensive software under the guidance of senior technologists with the goal of deployment during your ten weeks.

    • Applications to facilitate communication around executed trades to our compliance team
  • Identify innovative solutions to complex problems and advocate for their implementation to your team by communicating your ideas in a clear and concise manner
  • Conduct robust research using a data driven approach to employ statistical analytics on large data sets
  • Collaborate with other software developers, quantitative traders, and researchers as well as business analysts in cross-functional team environments

What you bring to the team...

  • Have strong understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, and algorithms
  • An eagerness to learn and apply what you have learned, and to know the impact of your code
  • Have strong problem-solving and analytical reasoning skills
  • Have strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Exhibit excellent software development skills in C++, Python, or Java and a deep curiosity to learn and absorb new technologies quickly

What to expect during the internship...

  • Community: Throughout the summer, we host a variety of educational, social and team-building activities to foster friendship and camaraderie.
  • Housing: DRW provides fully furnished apartments located close to the office -making your morning commute as easy as possible.
  • Mentorship: You'll build a professional relationship with an experienced mentor in your field. Mentors and mentees meet to discuss goals, challenges and professional development and explore the city together at our mentor outings.
  • Education: As technology continues to drive the trading industry forward, both in terms of new products and transaction methods, the future will present us with unique opportunities and challenges. To prepare you for how technology will continue to impact trading's future landscape, you will complete an options course framed from a developer's standpoint to help you visualize how your technology solutions will be used in real time. As the trading industry continually evolves, both in terms of new products and transaction methods, the future will present us with unique opportunities and challenges.

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.
