Singapore DRW Full time

DRW is a technology-driven, diversified principal trading firm. We trade our own capital at our own risk, across a broad range of asset classes, instruments and strategies, in financial markets around the world. As the markets have evolved over the past 25 years, so has DRW – maximizing opportunities to include real estate, cryptoassets and venture capital. With over 1,000 employees around the world, we work together to solve complex problems, challenge consensus and deliver meaningful results. It’s a place of high expectations, deep curiosity and thoughtful collaboration.

We are seeking a Proprietary Risk Trader who is focused on ETFs, Single Stocks or Futures to join one of our Global Trading teams.

What you’ll do in this role

  • Build, execute, and risk-manage discretionary & semi-systematic strategies end-to-end across ETFs and index futures.
  • Run ETF market-making and index arbitrage (cash–futures/TRS basis, baskets), and contribute to central risk book decisions to internalize flow and optimize inventory/hedging.
  • Analyse flows & themes (macro, microstructure, corporate actions) to generate tradeable hypotheses and P&L.
  • Partner with developers/quants to improve models, data pipelines, and execution tooling (Python-first culture).
  • Drive execution quality: route selection, algo parameters, participation, and post-trade attribution.
  • Contribute to desk risk positioning and runbooks; uphold controls (price bands, notional caps, borrow/recall awareness).

Requirements

  • 5+ years as a trader in ETFs or index futures (prop/MM/sell-side delta-one).
  • Asia markets experience (HK/SG/JP/KR/TW at minimum). Onshore China (QFI/Stock Connect, futures) is a strong plus.
  • Hands-on exposure to ETF MM, index arbitrage, and/or central risk book workflows.
  • Strong Python (pandas/numpy; quick prototyping/backtests; comfort with data hygiene & attribution).
  • Ability to translate macro/news into positioning; understanding of microstructure (auctions, halts/LULD, tick/lot, fee tiers) and SBL/borrow dynamics.
  • Profitable track record in equities/futures (high-level P&L drivers and risk used to achieve it).
  • Nice to have: experience within internalization/crossing frameworks; broker algo tuning (VWAP/TWAP/POV).
  • Corporate-actions & index events playbooks; AP/issuer interactions for Cr/Rd.
  • Mandarin/Cantonese language skills (for brokers/issuers/reg materials) are a plus.
