Requirements

We’re interested in highly accomplished students with demonstrated intellectual curiosity and keen analytical skills.

Applicants should demonstrate a client-focused approach and be able to work independently and as part of a team.
Candidates who are interested in learning more about corporate strategy, capital markets, or the economy typically thrive in this role. Experience or involvement with clubs or internships related to consulting, venture capital, economic research, or product management/strategy is a plus but not required.
We welcome applicants currently enrolled in a four-year undergraduate program or graduate degree program across all fields of study. No previous finance experience is necessary. Students who apply to this internship are usually approaching their final year of full-time study.

You’ll take on projects that require rigorous analytical thinking and creative problem solving. You might help enhance various communication efforts, conduct prospect- and investor-focused research, participate in brainstorming sessions with colleagues, or attend meetings with investors.

Mission & Purpose

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 2,000 people around the globe and an institutional-grade (and trip-proof) infrastructure, but we still value creativity, entrepreneurship, and the spirit of discovery.
