Software Developer Intern (C++)

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

As a Software Developer Intern in our Singapore office, 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 internship. While your days will have you engrossed with complex quantitative trading projects, your evenings will be spent exploring the city with organized social events to truly discover what it’s like to live and work in Singapore.

How you will make an impact…

• Design, develop test, and deploy proprietary software development solutions across the firm. Examples include creating:
  • Decoders to receive raw pack data from various exchanges and translate it into a more accessible form.
  • Normalizers 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 in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, mathematics or any related science discipline and have an expected graduation date between December 2026 and June 2027
• 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
• Exhibit excellent software development skills in 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.
• Community: Throughout the summer, we host a variety of educational, social and team-building activities to foster friendship and camaraderie.
• Mentorship: You’ll build a professional relationship with an experienced mentor in your field. Mentors and mentees meet to discuss goals, challenges and professional development and explore the city together at our mentor outings.
