- Proficiency in basic SQL and advanced working knowledge of Excel are required.
- Experience working directly with data engineers, data scientists, and software developers, on ETL designs, business intelligence infrastructure, or API specifications, is required.
- Familiarity with best practices and functional expertise in data modeling, data architecture, and data infrastructure is preferred, as is experience with generative AI infrastructure (e.g., vector databases).
- Excellent written and verbal communication (including explaining complex, technical ideas to a non-technical audience), organizational skills, a customer service mindset, and quick problem-solving abilities are critical.
- Attention to detail, effective teamwork, project ownership, and the ability to exercise extreme discretion with confidential information are all essential.
- The expected annual base salary for this position is $155,000 to $215,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401(k) contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.

What We Do
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. While we’re known as a pioneer in quantitative investing, we also have considerable expertise in areas that involve fundamental analysis or portfolio manager discretion. 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 2,500 people around the globe and an institutional-grade (and trip-proof) infrastructure, but we still value creativity, entrepreneurship, and the spirit of discovery.
