Headquartered in the vibrant SoHo neighborhood of New York City, Two Sigma Investments, LLC is a leading finance and technology firm that actively manages money across global markets. With several billion dollars in assets under management, we have been building successful model-driven investment strategies for the benefit of our investors since our inception in 2001. These strategies, which are expressed across various markets and asset classes, are based on models developed using rigorous mathematical analysis and the industry insight of Two Sigma's large and experienced team. Developing these strategies requires vast computational resources to successfully identify, quantify and act on market opportunities while closely monitoring risk exposure.
Technology is an integral part of the trading strategies, corporate functions and life in general at Two Sigma. To us, technology is a profit center, not merely a cost item, and it continues to be a driving force behind our company structure. Each day, we work in a casual atmosphere in small teams to develop and improve analytical and measurement tools for the financial markets. Many have observed that we look and feel a lot like a software firm. Sounds good to us.
Two Sigma is proud of our association with MIT's Battlecode programming competition. We are looking for bright, collaborative software developers and mathematicians to join our team.
