The D. E. Shaw group, a specialized investment and technology development firm with approximately US $35 billion in aggregate capital, is looking for top-notch, innovative software developers to help it expand its tech venture and proprietary trading activities. The firm was founded in 1988 by David E. Shaw, who received his Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford and served on the CS faculty at Columbia before organizing the D. E. Shaw group. Activities range from computer-based quantitative investment management to the development and financing of technology-oriented business ventures, but are tied together by a common focus on the economic implications of technological innovation. We offer a casual work environment populated by some of the brightest graduates from the strongest computer science programs in the world. In many respects, the firm combines the best traits of academia and the corporate world, offering a focused but informal company culture which is reflected in our casual dress, relatively flat management structure, and flexible vacation policy, as well as in the high degree to which new employees work closely with senior staff on key initiatives. We strongly emphasize personal ownership of projects, and new hires are given substantial responsibility from their first day on the job. If you’re interested in applying your talents to challenging problems of software architecture and engineering in an intellectually stimulating environment, then we’d love to see your resume.

To apply, e-mail your resume to PhDs-Prog@career.deshaw.com.
