The D. E. Shaw group is trusted by investors across the world to manage their assets by seeking the optimal balance of risk and reward. We use a combination of quantitative and qualitative tools to uncover independent, hard-to-find sources of return across global public and private markets.
Founded in 1988 over a small bookstore in downtown New York City, the D. E. Shaw group began with six employees and $28 million in capital and quickly became a pioneer in computational finance. In the early days of exposed pipes and extension cords, tripping on a cable could take out our whole trading system. Today, the firm has more than 1,200 people around the globe and an institutional-grade (and trip-proof) infrastructure, but we still value creativity, entrepreneurship, and the spirit of discovery.
The firm employs a disproportionate number of the world's leading computer scientists and mathematicians, many of whom joined the firm directly from leading college and university math and science programs, and a number of whom are former ARML competitors. Given the challenges of its work, the firm has a particular interest in promoting excellence in mathematics. For this reason, the D. E. Shaw group is especially proud of its years-long association with ARML and of its current sponsorship of the national competition.
Open internship and fulltime opportunities are available, here .
