Headquartered in New York City, the D. E. Shaw group is a global investment and technology
development firm with offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. Since its organization in 1988 by
a former Columbia University computer science professor, David E. Shaw, the firm has earned an

models and our staff’s expertise, and our multi-disciplinary approach combines insights from
quantitative fields, software development, sector expertise, and finance.

We offer the benefits of being one of the world’s largest, most established alternative investment
managers, with a world-class technology infrastructure, deep research capabilities, and programs that
facilitate the ongoing growth and internal mobility of staff. But we’re also nimble enough to remain
deeply entrepreneurial—we’re always looking for opportunities to enhance our reach with fresh ideas
and for new ways to apply rigorous thinking and advanced technology to the investment management
profession.

We have a long history of looking for candidates who aren’t conventional “financial types,” and our
