The D. E. Shaw Group is a global investment and technology development firm founded in 1988 with more than 2,500 people around the world. We invest globally in public and private markets, deploying a range of systematic investment strategies driven by quantitative and computational techniques, as well as discretionary strategies based primarily on human analysis.
Founded in 1988 over a small bookstore in downtown New York City, the D. E. Shaw group began with six people and $28 million in capital and quickly became a pioneer in computational finance. We’ve earned a worldwide reputation for innovation, rigorous risk management, cutting-edge technology, and the caliber of our people. Building new things is at our core. We deploy advanced investment techniques to uncover hard-to-find sources of potential return, develop new technologies when existing solutions won’t do, and launch innovative businesses across industries. In the early days of exposed pipes and extension cords, tripping on a cable could take out our whole trading system. Today, we have more than 2,500 people around the globe and a highly advanced (and trip-proof) infrastructure, but we still value creativity, entrepreneurship, and the spirit of discovery. We prize collaboration across disciplines, geographies, and teams. Analytical rigor, the open exploration of ideas, and a tireless pursuit of excellence drive us forward. We strive for the D. E. Shaw group to be a rewarding place to work and grow, where our people can reach their full potential. Collaborating with people from different backgrounds allows us to solve complex problems together, and we thrive on a range of perspectives and experiences.
