About the role
DRW is a diversified trading firm with over 3 decades of experience bringing sophisticated technology and exceptional people together to operate in markets around the world. We value autonomy and the ability to quickly pivot to capture opportunities, so we operate using our own capital and trading at our own risk.
Headquartered in Chicago with offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, we trade a variety of asset classes including Fixed Income, ETFs, Equities, FX, Commodities and Energy across all major global markets. 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.

At the completion of this training you would return to Montreal to be part of a team focused on executing the option strategy for the Global Macro, World Economics, and Equity Trading teams. You will work closely with experienced traders, software engineers and quantitative researchers to develop trading strategies and ensure optimal system performance. This role will report directly to the head of the Options trading team in Montreal.
Responsibilities:
- Inform, develop and execute the option strategy for the Montreal trading teams
- Identify, evaluate and realize new market opportunities and revenue streams
- Adjust approach based on market factors to capture unique opportunities
- Suggest improvements to the systems and coordinate across roles to prioritize development efforts
- Communicate relevant news, market events, and trade behavior to team members
- Generate feedback on trade performance to refine strategies

About DRW
At DRW, we identify and capture trading and investment opportunities globally. What sets us apart is our diversified approach—trading across many asset classes and instruments, in markets around the world, with horizons from seconds to years. We succeed by leveraging technology, research and risk management.
We offer the best of both worlds: the opportunity and spirit of a startup and the benefits and stability of an established, experienced firm. Our employees work hard to solve interesting problems, and their results are rewarded. We value continuous learning—from our outcomes, from the environment and from each other. It’s a place of high expectations, deep curiosity, and constant collaboration, with some of the smartest, most passionate people you’ll meet. // Chez DRW, nous identifions et saisissons les opportunités de négociation et d'investissement au niveau mondial. Ce qui nous différencie, c'est notre approche diversifiée : nous négocions sur de nombreuses classes d'actifs et d'instruments, sur des marchés du monde entier, avec des horizons allant de quelques secondes à plusieurs années. Nous réussissons en nous appuyant sur la technologie, la recherche et la gestion des risques. Nous offrons le meilleur des deux mondes: les opportunités et l'ésprit d’une entreprise en démarrage, et les avantages et la stabilité d'une entreprise établie et expérimentée. Nos employés travaillent dur pour résoudre des problèmes intéressants et leurs résultats sont récompensés. Nous valorisons l'apprentissage continu – de nos résultats, de l’environnement et de chacun de nous. C’est un lieu où les attentes sont élevées, la curiosité est profonde et la collaboration est constante, et où l’on retrouve quelques-uns des individus les plus intelligents et les plus passionnés que vous puissiez rencontrer.
