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. UP (Unified Platform) consolidates data and technologies into a comprehensive solution, accelerating time to market. Optimizing decision-making and research, our platform simplifies implementing new ideas, enhancing our competitive edge.

UP teams are segmented into multiple areas including: Platform Engineering - Teams within platform engineering provide cross-cutting capabilities that enable other teams to focus on domain- or business-specific needs by streamlining and standardizing technical approaches. For example, one of these teams provides data mapping tools, access management, and usage tracking capabilities for development teams. Domain Engineering - Teams within domain engineering own critical capabilities that extend beyond a single desk or business area, building services and data solutions to optimize for a broad array of use cases. For example, these teams work on problems like managing and enhancing DRW's instrument and organizational reference data models for seamless interoperability across the firm; handling real-time message flow and integrations with third-party trades and orders feeds; or providing trading desks and business units with current, historical, and real-time streaming portfolio views. Expectations: Building systems with a constant focus on testing, reliability, scalability, and maintainability. Designing, modeling, and programming in a variety of languages and technologies.

Narrativ is building the commerce and payments infrastructure for the Creator Economy. We make it simple for creators to earn a full time income selling products from brands they love.50 million people work in the Creator Economy today, but 95% don't make enough to pay their monthly rent. Creators feel more pressure than ever to keep adding new revenue streams, from fan subscriptions to tips, and churn out a constant stream of new content just to get by. Commerce is a massively under-monetized revenue stream because it's been falsely housed as "affiliate marketing" to date.Narrativ is changing this status quo - our platform gives creators commerce, not affiliate tools, to manage their businesses. Creators who were making less than $25K a year through affiliate are now earning $100K+ through commerce on Narrativ. These creators don't need millions of followers - the majority of creators earning a full time income on Narrativ have between 50-300K subscribers.Narrativ has been recognized as a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer and one of Fast Company World's Most Innovative Companies alongside giants like Google, Microsoft, and Slack. Narrativ is committed to building a diverse team in a technology ecosystem that is anything but - the team is 42% women and 60% people of color today.Do you share our vision for making the creator economy dream real for millions of people? Come join our team! About the role: Narrativ is seeking talented and experienced software and data engineers to join its growing team and develop products and infrastructure for its growing business. We view engineering management as a people-oriented role that serves the skilled engineers on the team and seeks to develop their careers while delivering products for Narrativ and for its customers.

This is a brief overview of our tech stack.Narrativ's systems are implemented as a modern microservices architecture running on Linux servers hosted in AWS. We use Kubernetes to manage our containers, we use Flask to construct our Web interfaces. We build interactivity in our web interfaces using React. We use Linux, and in particular Debian, Ubuntu, and Alpine distros.Our favorite programming languages are Python 3, Scala, Go, Elixir, and, of course, TypeScript and JavaScript. We stash our code in GitHub.We test each language with an appropriate unit testing tool - JUnit, PyTest, ScalaTest, ExUnit, and Jasmine. We use Jenkins to run our builds and tests.Check-ins against the main branch require a code review by another SWE.We keep some data in Snowflake, some in Postgres, others in DynamoDB, and some, of course, in MySQL. We build our product graph using Neptune and Gremlin. We are working to reduce the number of databases we rely on.We stream data around using Kafka, Spark, and Storm.

Narrativ is building the commerce and payments infrastructure for the Creator Economy. We make it simple for creators to earn a full time income selling products from brands they love.50 million people work in the Creator Economy today, but 95% don't make enough to pay their monthly rent. Creators feel more pressure than ever to keep adding new revenue streams, from fan subscriptions to tips, and churn out a constant stream of new content just to get by. Commerce is a massively under-monetized revenue stream because it's been falsely housed as "affiliate marketing" to date.Narrativ is changing this status quo - our platform gives creators commerce, not affiliate tools, to manage their businesses. Creators who were making less than $25K a year through affiliate are now earning $100K+ through commerce on Narrativ. These creators don't need millions of followers - the majority of creators earning a full time income on Narrativ have between 50-300K subscribers.Narrativ has been recognized as a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer and one of Fast Company World's Most Innovative Companies alongside giants like Google, Microsoft, and Slack. Narrativ is committed to building a diverse team in a technology ecosystem that is anything but - the team is 42% women and 60% people of color today.Do you share our vision for making the creator economy dream real for millions of people?
