DRW is a diversified, technology-led principal trading firm. We trade our own capital at our own risk, across a broad range of asset classes, instruments and strategies, in markets around the world. As the markets have evolved over the past 25 years, so has DRW – growing to include real estate, cryptocurrencies, venture capital and several industry acquisitions. With nearly 1,200 employees at our Chicago headquarters and six global offices, we work together to solve interesting problems and capture opportunities. It’s a place of high expectations, deep curiosity, and constant collaboration, with some of the smartest, most passionate people you will meet. 

The Container Infrastructure team provides scalable on-premises cloud and application orchestration services for DRW’s trading desks, data scientists, and enterprise application teams. Our goal is to enable teams to keep focused on their business goals by providing simple, scalable solutions with off the shelf tools and the right amount of focused engineering. The Container Infrastructure team is looking for a Service Reliability Engineer (SRE) who can work with other teams and trading desks to successfully onboard applications and services to our Kubernetes infrastructure. The SRE will also provide ongoing support of existing toolchains and evaluate new tools and processes to enable our teams to deploy faster, more reliably, and with less human intervention.
