Our team is headquartered in Chicago with offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, and 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.

At DRW, we operate with respect, curiosity, and open minds. We believe that it's not just what we do that matters, but how we do it.

DRW is a place of high expectations, integrity, innovation, and a willingness to challenge consensus.

Our Trade Management team offers mission-critical support for our Openlink Endur platform and several related systems. These tools support our commodities trading, primarily in the energy/ETRM space, but also in other areas like metals and agriculture.

  • Automate configuration and rollout procedures to minimize manual errors and uphold flawless change management.
  • Collaborate with traders, developers, back office, QA, infrastructure, technical support, business development, and various management teams globally.
  • Help end users and developers understand core trading and back-office systems to ensure efficient and correct use of available tools.
  • Manage user access to Endur, related tools, and 3rd party applications.
  • Build documentation for common procedures, troubleshooting scenarios, and system architecture.
  • Coordinate efforts with other support teams to ensure continuity and consistency of support in a 24x7 environment.

Requirements:

  • Direct experience with Openlink Endur (version 16 or higher) in a support or system administration capacity.
  • Strong Windows platform support experience, with Linux knowledge being advantageous.
  • Script development skills, particularly related to automating Endur processes.
  • SQL knowledge, including queries, updates, table creation, and basic database maintenance.
  • Experience with other commodities and Openlink systems; for example, prior experience with systems like BroadPeak K3, WebICE, Trayport, eCat, YesEnergy, and/or Findur is beneficial but not required.
  • Demonstrated understanding of network communications.
  • Must have some flexibility in work schedule to help ensure team coverage; rotating on-call coverage required.
  • B.S. in Computer Science, an equivalent degree, or equivalent work experience.
  • Self-motivation and intellectual curiosity, with a strong desire to continually improve the production support function.
  • High level of ownership and accountability, reliability, and strong follow-through.
  • Ability to handle pressure and time constraints with composure, multitask, and switch contexts efficiently.
  • Strong organizational skills, including the ability to effectively plan and prioritize.
  • Must have strong communication skills and demonstrate the ability to have clear and concise conversations, both written and verbal, with a variety of personalities.
