Job description
Join our Technology team in New York
The D. E. Shaw group seeks an inquisitive technology enthusiast to join its Quant Systems team. This is a hands-on technical role within an engineering team responsible for high performance trading and research infrastructure.

What you’ll do day-to-day

Quant Systems is a global team that designs and maintains the firm’s largest compute infrastructure, which includes operating system platforms, software development tooling, high-performance computing, networking, and storage for research and trading. This engineer will have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of technology initiatives in a distributed computing environment, such as workload scheduling design and implementation, fleet management, clustered file system design and operation, software design and life cycle (SDLC), kernel and network performance tuning for low-latency and high-throughput applications, and metrics collection and data mining analysis.

Who we’re looking for
  • The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated interest in how technology works and should have a degree in computer science (or another related technical discipline) or comparable experience of up to five years. Proficiency in Python, Golang, Rust, or another similar language is required.
  • Knowledge of Linux-based systems and networking is a plus.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills are a must, as are superb organizational and time management abilities.
  • In keeping with our firm's culture and the ever-changing nature of our work, we’re more interested in talent, curiosity, and motivation than we are in any particular skill or experience.
  • The expected annual base salary for this position is $200,000 to $250,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, a sign-on bonus, a relocation bonus, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401k contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.

At the D. E. Shaw group, we believe the diversity of our employees is core to our strength and success. We are committed to supporting our people in work and in life, which is why we offer benefits such as a family planning and surrogacy program and a charitable gift match to all full-time employees.

Additionally, our staff-led affinity groups are pillars of our community, helping to celebrate diversity, promote leadership and development opportunities, and facilitate inclusive mentorship. Members and allies organize a wide range of educational and social programming, from expert talks to film festivals.
