About us
The D. E. Shaw group is trusted by investors across the world to seek an optimal balance of risk and reward. We launched in 1989 as a pioneer in systematic investing and have built on that foundation to develop formidable expertise in fundamental analysis and discretionary investing. We use a combination of quantitative tools and human-driven insights 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 3,000 people around the globe and an institutional-grade (and trip-proof) infrastructure, but we still value creativity, entrepreneurship, and the spirit of discovery. If you’re an intellectually adventurous person who loves to collaborate on challenging and rewarding projects, we encourage you to apply.

“It's through collaboration that you get these emergent solutions.” Developer Stephen Payne shares how that philosophy helped shape PJRmi, our open-source tool designed to combine Python’s flexibility with the performance and structure of Java.

We're excited to see advances in reproducible AI infrastructure across the NVIDIA and #Nix ecosystems. Congratulations to Flox on its continued growth as an independent platform since its origins at the D. E. Shaw group. #deshawgroup
Just in time for NVIDIA GTC, Flox is announcing the general availability of the CUDA Kickstart Program! 🎉 The program defines a reference architecture for deploying deterministic, reproducible CUDA-accelerated ML/AI environments on NVIDIA GPU infrastructure at scale. It provides validated #CUDA environments for common serving patterns such as diffusion workloads, LLM inference, and Triton-based services, along with GPU-architecture-specific builds of frameworks like PyTorch, vLLM, and llama.cpp. Instead of rebuilding massive container images, teams define #ML environments as code and promote them across the SDLC by switching a pinned environment reference. The same runtime can move from research to production with deterministic SBOMs, controlled promotions, and one-step rollbacks. Alongside the launch, we’re publishing a capital markets technical case study showing how firms deploy hardened CUDA stacks in minutes instead of hours while maintaining full supply-chain visibility. The program reflects Flox’s collaboration with NVIDIA and the #Nix ecosystem to strengthen the open infrastructure around CUDA and make reproducible AI environments easier to deploy and run at scale. Read the full announcement on our blog 👉 https://lnkd.in/d3r6GdgU And if you're at NVIDIA GTC, come see Flox at booth #4046!
