Job Description

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.

We operate with respect, curiosity and open minds. The people who thrive here share our belief that it’s not just what we do that matters–it's how we do it. DRW is a place of high expectations, integrity, innovation and a willingness to challenge consensus.

Our philosophy:

  • We believe in relentless automation of repetitive tasks.
  • We have the curiosity and drive to dig deep and find creative solutions.
  • We believe our goal is to find the right solution rather than always being right.
  • We provide exceptional customer service to our teams and trading desks.

  • Triage and resolve tickets from the operations queue; respond to critical production incidents.
  • Implement planned and ad hoc changes in accordance with firmwide change management processes.
  • Maintain clear system documentation and capture specialized configurations as repeatable runbooks.
  • Participate in a global support team with on call rotation and occasional weekend maintenance.

Your background:

  • Experience managing Windows Server infrastructure in high visibility, mission critical environments.
  • Experience administering Windows Server services: Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, Failover Clustering.
  • Experience with Entra ID, Exchange (Server/Online/Hybrid) and MECM (SCCM) is preferred.
  • You can use scripts (e.g. PowerShell, Python) to automate routine administrative tasks.
  • Knowledge of networking fundamentals, server hardware and VM deployments.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills. You can work across teams and have evidence-based discussions on technical and operational topics.
  • You are eager to learn, collaborate, and find solutions under interesting constraints.

Bonus points if you have:

  • Experience with Splunk, Grafana, Alertmanager, Prometheus.
  • Familiarity with DevOps/CI CD and IaC practices, containerization and Kubernetes.
  • Prior experience in the trading or financial services industry.

The annual base salary range for this position is $120,000 to $160,000 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.
