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.

The UP-Trade Operations team builds software that enables DRW's trading operations teams to manage our growing DeFi footprint. A big part of what makes this work interesting is figuring out where DeFi instruments map to traditional financial concepts, where they extend them, and where they are something entirely new. We need engineers who can reason about these protocols financially, not just technically, and build reliable systems around them at institutional scale.

We work from high-level requirements where programmers are expected to gain an intimate understanding of the business. We strive for an environment where developers have the autonomy to pursue business solutions without arbitrary management constraints. We are a group of polyglots and technologists always seeking to find the right tool for each problem. Broadly, the development teams at DRW believe in rapid deployment and feedback, automated testing, and cohesive, transparent, lightly-coupled service architectures.

Problems You'll Work On:

• Ingesting and normalizing data across multiple chains (Ethereum, Solana, and L2 rollups like Arbitrum) and custody platforms
• Integrating with DeFi protocols -- AMMs, lending platforms, options vaults, staking providers -- to query on-chain state and track positions
• Building services that bridge on-chain activity to off-chain reporting: token balances, transfers, margin positions, settlement, and fees across different ERC standards
• Developing APIs and UIs that give traders and operations teams real-time visibility into DeFi positions and risk
• Modeling DeFi instruments (liquidity pools, lending markets, perpetuals, yield products) alongside their traditional finance equivalents for unified reporting and risk

Responsibilities:

• Building systems with a constant focus on testing, reliability, scalability, and maintainability
• Designing, modeling, and programming in a variety of languages and technologies
• Working on legacy code as well as greenfield development
• Taking initiative and driving projects to completion
• Learning and promoting new technologies with a focus on best practices
• Providing on-call support as needed
• Sometimes working alongside other developers on the same task

Professional Experience:

We expect strong engineering fundamentals, but what truly sets candidates apart is hands-on experience navigating the DeFi landscape.

DeFi & Blockchain:

• Hands-on experience with EVM internals, smart contract ABIs, and libraries like ethers.js or web3.js
• Familiarity with DeFi protocols: AMMs (Uniswap), lending (Compound), options/structured products, or staking
• Understanding of multi-chain architectures -- L1s, L2 rollups, bridging, and cross-chain data challenges
• Exposure to Solana or other non-EVM chains is a plus
• Experience with oracle systems (Chainlink) or on-chain pricing
• Ability to reason about DeFi protocols from a financial perspective, e.g. how different AMM designs affect pricing, how lending rates compare across protocols, or what distinguishes different stablecoin mechanisms

Engineering & Stack:

• Multiple years of server-side development
• Willingness to learn Clojure, one of the team's primary languages
• Confident JVM knowledge
• Working knowledge of Node.js/TypeScript
• A solid understanding of micro-service architectures
• Proficiency in domain-driven design and domain modeling
• A good understanding of functional paradigms and type theory

Infrastructure & Tools:

• Kubernetes, Docker, ArgoCD
• PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQS, RabbitMQ
• Linux, Ansible, Nginx, Git

The annual base salary range for this position is $130,000 to $225,000 depending on the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and relevant skill set. The position is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus. In addition, DRW offers a comprehensive suite of employee benefits including group medical, pharmacy, dental and vision insurance, 401k (with discretionary employer match), short and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance, health savings accounts, and flexible spending accounts.

About Loop 

Loop is on a mission to streamline the movement of money between shippers, carriers, and brokers to unlock margin and increase liquidity in the supply chain.

Today, logistics payments are a big black box that unnecessarily drains thousands, if not millions, of dollars. Legacy services do not meet the market's needs. Transportation teams need a solution that unlocks insights from their complex datasets, rather than drowning them in manual workflows.

Loop harnesses AI expertise with deep logistics industry knowledge to deliver automated audits, streamlined resolutions, expedited payments, and most importantly actionable insights. All so that shippers and 3PLs can improve spend visibility, eliminate unnecessary costs, and optimize their transportation spend. Loop’s customers see a 4% reduction in costs and an 80% boost in back-office productivity.

Loop is a customer-obsessed company that sees the complexity in the supply chain as an opportunity rather than a challenge. Our foundational AI capitalizes on the messiness in the system to maximize outcomes for our customers.

Investors include Founders Fund, 8VC, Susa Ventures, Flexport, and 50 industry-leading angel investors.

For more information regarding our compensation and benefit offerings please see below: 

U.S. Compensation & Benefits  

Compensation at Inspire11 
Inspire11 follows Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Illinois Human Rights Act, the Illinois Equal Wage Act, and the Illinois Equal Pay Act of 2003. We believe that people performing the same role at the same level, with similar levels of ability or experience, should be similarly compensated. We also believe that the most critical factors driving compensation should be an Eleven’s skill, experience, performance, responsibility, and effort. We may also consider an employee’s length of service, relevant education, training, or certification, and the requirements of a specific job. We may also consider whether the cost of living or competition for talent in specific markets requires adjustments in compensation for employees in those markets. Our goal is to fairly compensate all our Elevens based on these factors within the Company’s financial ability.   

Compensation may be increased or decreased at Inspire11’s discretion based on an employee’s performance reviews, market conditions, and the Company’s financial performance. Inspire11 will always notify an employee in writing before any change is made to their compensation.  

Bonuses 
We may allow employees in Sales, Recruiting, or Leadership to earn periodic bonuses based on sales, revenue, client-specific or practice-specific targets. These targets are communicated to each eligible employee via offer letter or annual update. All such target-based bonuses are calculated based on the Company and an individual’s periodic performance and will only be awarded if: (a) the employee is meeting performance expectations and is an employee in good standing of the Company; (b) the target is met; and (c) the Company’s current financial performance and market conditions permit the bonus to be paid out. All periodic bonuses are discretionary and are earned only when paid out.   

Each year, the Company will decide whether the Company’s financial performance, market performance, and business realities allow it to create an annual bonus pool. If the Company decides that annual bonuses may be awarded, then the Leadership Team will grant annual bonuses to employees in good standing based on the same factors discussed in the previous paragraph while also considering employees’ diligence, performance, expertise, skill, judgment, and experience. To be eligible to participate in this annual bonus pool, an employee must be hired by no later than October 1st of the preceding year. Annual bonuses and merit increases may be prorated based on hire date. Employees eligible for target-based periodic bonuses are not eligible to participate in the annual bonus pool.   

Options or Other Equity in Inspire11 
Inspire11 has a legacy program that allowed certain high-performing employees to purchase shares of the Company through an affiliate. The Company also has a newer program that grants options annually to high-performing employees based on their performance reviews, their managers’ recommendation, and leadership approval. These options have a vesting period associated with them.
