Pricing & Derived Data - Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for strong senior generalists who have a considerable experience building data products.

Candidates should be able to provide examples of significant projects that they have led from design through to operating in production, including responsibility for architectural decisions. We are interested in hearing from candidates who have had to choose between technologies and can talk to us about why they would or would not make that choice again.

Relevant areas include event streaming, change data capture, open table formats and stream and batch processing. Associated technologies include Kafka, Delta Lake, Iceberg, ClickHouse, Spark, and Flink. We are interested in a deep understanding of the architectural requirements that these technologies are suitable for rather than years of experience in a specific one of them.

Prior experience in Elixir or in the financial domain is not required, but candidates should be interested in working in these areas.

Examples of projects you may have led include:

• Designing and building a high-volume and/or low-latency data processing system, including ingestion, storage, and distribution.
• Scaling an ingestion pipeline handling thousands or tens or thousands of events per second on a single node (optimisation) and/or across multiple nodes (distribution).
• The operation and support of a data product which has time- and correctness-sensitive delivery requirements.

We value:

• Humility and respect for others, and trust in our teammates.
• The ability to learn, adapt and grow.
• The capacity to independently drive projects to completion, but a preference to collaborate with teammates.
• Excellent listening and communication skills

The annual base salary range for this position is $175,000 to $250,000 depending on the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and relevant skill set. The position is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus.

In addition, DRW offers a comprehensive suite of employee benefits including group medical, pharmacy, dental and vision insurance, 401k (with discretionary employer match), short and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance, health savings accounts, and flexible spending accounts.
