Careers

At the D. E. Shaw group, employees might be involved in any of a wide range of financial and non-financial projects, depending both on our current activities and on the interests and capabilities of the individual in question. The firm is extremely selective in its hiring, and seriously considers only those individuals having extraordinary intellectual capabilities, communication skills, and general "real world" competence.

New hires often enjoy surprising amounts of responsibility, and we encourage collaboration, personal mentorships with senior team members, and the open exploration of ideas. To bring new employees up to speed, we offer a Business Overview Program with presentations by senior management across the firm. We also provide a wide range of training opportunities in Finance, Communication & Interpersonal Skills, Productivity, and Manager Development. These courses are facilitated by first-rate instructors drawn from premier universities and education companies and, in certain cases, by the firm’s own internal experts. We also offer more than 250 online resources for self-paced learning and group-specific mentoring programs pairing senior and junior colleagues.

If you are interested in being considered for a position, please submit your application online by selecting Job Opportunities and following the procedure described. To apply for a position in our Hyderabad office, please use the special Hyderabad office form.

If we think there might be a good match between your background and our needs, we'll schedule a phone interview, which may be followed, if appropriate, by one or more in-person interviews at our office and, finally, the collection of references. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Strategic Growth department.

In accord with our standard procedure for processing applications for employment, candidate resumes and associated information will be sent to D. E. Shaw group affiliates in the United States, India, the United Kingdom, and possibly other locations where the D. E. Shaw group maintains offices. (Of course, applicants will be considered for employment opportunities only in those countries in which they have expressed interest.) The D. E. Shaw group will use reasonable care to maintain the confidentiality of applicant information and will not disclose it to any third party unless expressly requested or authorized by the applicant, or in a judicial, legislative, or administrative investigation or proceeding or to a government or other regulatory agency. Individuals who have already submitted a resume to the D. E. Shaw group and do not wish to proceed with their applications should e-mail cvwithdraw@deshaw.com.

The members of the D. E. Shaw group do not discriminate in employment matters on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, national origin, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or any other category protected by law. Note that for us, this is more than just a legal boilerplate. We are genuinely committed to these principles, which form an important part of our corporate culture, and are eager to hear from extraordinarily well qualified individuals having a wide range of backgrounds and personal characteristics.
