MAKING THE GRADE

From English teacher to security engineer

Alex J. has always loved technology; as a teacher, he integrated new tech tools to make learning fun whenever possible. Despite coming to DRW slightly inexperienced for his desktop support engineer position, the nurturing environment he encountered at the company helped him thrive. “My manager gave me ample opportunity to try new things, make mistakes and learn from my own experiences,” he said. That room to grow — along with instructor-led training for his CompTIA Security+ certification and support from colleagues — prepared him to level up to his current role.

What I respect the most about the company is the support around improving my skill set and taking on new projects.

Experimenting with UX

Growing via novel technology

Emma D.

Software Engineer, UX Design and Engineering

Working on cloud-hosted sites with easy access to APIs offers Emma D. many opportunities to experiment with new technology, but her colleagues play a role in innovation as well. “My team lead is the biggest influence for me when it comes to engaging with new tech,” she said. “He follows the frameworks and libraries we use religiously.” In addition, she is supported in her experimentation through DRW’s professional development budget, which she plans to use to take workshops and college classes to learn about and practice using new tech tools.

My team lead is always excited to share tech updates with us and have us try implementing them on projects.

FAST, QUALITY WORK

Striking a balance between timely and thorough

Software engineer Milan R. describes DRW’s culture as one of “friendliness, openness and high software quality while balancing fast releases.” That equilibrium between excellent engineering and timely product deployment is essential for DRW’s operations as well. Currently, he and his team are working on a platform to combine research and strategy development to help users increase productivity. “I enjoy working with other smart people and having a constant stream of challenges to solve,” he said. “It has never been boring.”
