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.

You'll experiment with emerging technologies to process data at scale. You'll wrestle a mountain of data into human understandable insights.
We care deeply about preserving a respectful and diverse team culture. We are a group of polyglots and technologists always seeking to find the right tool for each problem, even if that means learning something new or reviving something old. We value business impact and outcomes over process, and we make decisions based on data. We strive to adapt quickly as business priorities change.
