Software Developer Intern

Our formula for success is to hire exceptional people, encourage their ideas and reward their results.

As a Software Developer Intern, you will build advanced trading and risk applications leveraging cutting-edge technology. DRW enables our Software Developer Interns to develop computationally intensive software under the guidance of senior technologists with the goal of deployment during your ten weeks. While your days will have you immersed in complex projects directly driving DRW’s progress, your evenings will be spent exploring the city with organized social events to truly discover what it is like to live and work in Amsterdam.

How you will make an impact…

• Design, develop test, and deploy proprietary software solutions across the firm. Examples include creating:
  • Decoders to receive raw pack data from various exchanges and translate it into a more accessible form.
  • Normalisers which take decoded data and build a book for each instrument traded on that exchange
  • Applications to facilitate communication around executed trades to our compliance team
• Identify innovative solutions to complex problems and advocate for their implementation to your team by communicating your ideas in a clear and concise manner
• Conduct robust research using a data driven approach to employ statistical analytics on large data sets
• Collaborate with other software developers, quantitative traders and researchers as well as business analysts in cross-functional team environments

What you bring to the team…

• Are pursuing a bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, mathematics or any related science discipline and have an expected graduation date between December 2027 and August 2028
• Have exposure to network programming (TCP/IP), multi‐threaded applications, computational intelligence, algorithms, real‐time programming or GUI programming
• Have strong understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, and algorithms
• An eagerness to learn and apply what you have learned, and to know the impact of your code
• Have strong problem-solving and analytical reasoning skills
• Have strong communication and collaboration skills
• Exhibit excellent software development skills in C++, Python, Java, C#, or C and a deep curiosity to learn and absorb new technologies quickly

What to expect during the internship…

• Meaningful projects: You’ll receive a challenging project to complete during your time here. Each project, advised by a software engineer, promotes a comprehensive learning experience and provides you with meaningful work experience.
