The D. E. Shaw group is a global investment and technology development firm encompassing a number of closely related entities with approximately $25 billion in aggregate investment capital. Since its organization in 1988 by Dr. David E. Shaw, a former computer science professor at Columbia University, the firm has earned an international reputation for financial innovation, technological leadership, and an extraordinarily distinguished staff. While many of the D. E. Shaw group's activities focus on the use of advanced mathematical and computational techniques to trade in various domestic and international securities markets, the firm also devotes substantial resources to the conceptualization, early-stage development, and financing of internally developed start-up ventures. Projects now under development include a groundbreaking effort to build a special-purpose supercomputer designed to fundamentally transform the process of drug discovery.
The principal underpinning of our firm's success is an extraordinary staff of exceptionally gifted professionals, each among the very best in his or her field. Our staff includes an unusual number of Putnam winners, International Math Olympiad medalists, Rhodes and Marshall scholars, IAS members, and other world-class researchers and practitioners from a wide range of scientific disciplines. Our work environment also distinguishes us in our industry. While we are a motivated and productive group, we do not work long hours for their own sake. Casual dress and informality are the rule, as is a strongly entrepreneurial culture that encourages creativity and personal development. Employee satisfaction runs very high, as evidenced by strikingly low staff turnover at both junior and senior levels. In fact, many of us feel the environment at D. E. Shaw provides some of the most important advantages of academia, while offering considerably greater financial rewards.
We're looking to hire quantitative analysts and software developers for full-time and internship positions; a background in finance is not expected.
