Who We Are
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 1,400 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 prizes a culture of collaboration across disciplines, geographies, and investment strategies. Experienced leadership and diversely talented minds chart our course. Analytical rigor, an open exploration of ideas, and a relentless pursuit of excellence drive us forward.
Our People
We spend time extensively searching the globe for talented individuals. We invest in those who are able to think creatively, who are relentlessly rational, and who put ego aside in the interest of getting things right. Then we empower them to do their best work in an environment where they are free to express the eclectic parts of their personality.
How To Join
At the D. E. Shaw group you’ll find sharp minds, strict ethical standards, and a precise approach to solving problems. Joining our team means you’ll be working with a complex, creative, socially conscious, and occasionally nerdy set of individuals. Here we thrive on differences—in experiences, ideas, and ways of thinking. No matter where you're coming from, we welcome exceptional applicants of all types to join our team.
