About the role
DRW in Chicago is seeking a Research Engineer to join a systematic trading team. You will contribute to the full tech stack, from software design to quantitative modeling, with mentoring and opportunities for training.
You will work with researchers to implement studies, simulate strategies, and develop scalable software for data, visualization, and deployment. A strong CS/engineering background and experience in C++ and Python are required.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
