The D. E. Shaw group is trusted by investors across the world to manage their assets by seeking the optimal balance of risk and reward. We use a combination of quantitative and qualitative tools 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 1,200 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 employs a disproportionate number of the world’s leading computer scientists and mathematicians, many of whom joined the firm directly from leading college and university math and science programs, and a number of whom are former ARML competitors. Given the challenges of its work, the firm has a particular interest in promoting excellence in mathematics. For this reason, the D. E. Shaw group is especially proud of its years-long association with ARML and of its current sponsorship of the national competition.
Internship Opportunities
The D. E. Shaw group is looking for exceptional students from all backgrounds to join our internship program.

Fellowship Opportunities
The D. E. Shaw group has designed a set of unique educational opportunities in an effort to bring together talented and intellectually curious students and provide them with exposure to what we do at the D. E. Shaw group. The fellowships include an introduction to our firm, insights into our rigorous approach to finance, and several professional and social networking opportunities.
