You build and run the computing platform that lets DRW's quantitative researchers replay and analyse huge streams of market data. Every price and trade an exchange prints arrives as an event. The platform takes in that raw feed, stores it, and lets researchers run simulations over it at scale, so they can test a trading idea against years of history before it risks real money. The work is closer to a game engine's replay loop or a telecoms packet pipeline than to a website.

The seat is a senior hands on engineer in Research Technology. You spend most of your time writing code yourself and you mentor junior engineers when needed. Trading experience is not required. Onboarding covers the markets side, and the interview does not test it.
