The D. E. Shaw India staff collaborates closely with colleagues around the world to build cutting-edge proprietary software systems for the group’s investment activities across its systematic, discretionary, and hybrid strategies, and to provide research and operations support.
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 the group is known as a pioneer in quantitative investing, it also has considerable expertise in areas that involve fundamental analysis or portfolio manager discretion. The group uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative tools to uncover independent, hard-to-find sources of return across global public and private markets.
D. E. Shaw India builds sophisticated technology to advance the group’s trading activities and business processes. Technology is at the core of our business and we take pride in the capabilities we have built over the past two decades to empower our investment management functions.
An entrepreneurial spirit has always been a part of the D. E. Shaw group’s culture. When external platforms don’t meet our needs, we build our own. We created one of the first NoSQL databases in our industry, developed middleware that outperformed popular off-the-shelf products, created a service management platform for our private cloud, built a powerful data analysis library for Python before Pandas existed, developed superior infrastructure for building Python micro-services, and built a modern web engineering framework tailored to the group’s needs
