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.

What you'll do:
  • Operate key parts of a sophisticated data analysis pipeline
  • Monitor and troubleshoot production jobs
  • Monitor and work through list of data-related issues raised by the system, drilling into those requiring action, including looking into the code
  • Consult with developers to determine appropriate courses of action and make suggestions for improvements to the system

  • Provide L1 and L2 support for users and collaborate with developers on L3 support
