The D. E. Shaw group is trusted by investors across the world to seek an optimal balance of risk and reward. We launched in 1989 as a pioneer in systematic investing and have built on that foundation to develop formidable expertise in fundamental analysis and discretionary investing. We use a combination of quantitative tools and human-driven insights 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 3,000 people around the globe and an institutional-grade (and trip-proof) infrastructure, but we still value creativity, entrepreneurship, and the spirit of discovery. If you’re an intellectually adventurous person who loves to collaborate on challenging and rewarding projects, we encourage you to apply.
