Job description

Systems: Technologist Intern (London) - Summer 2024
Join our Technology team in London
The D. E. Shaw group seeks motivated individuals with impressive records of academic and/or professional achievement to join our summer internship program. Technologists at the firm are responsible for designing, developing, and managing the firm’s global technology infrastructure. This includes developing a wide range of technical solutions in areas including Linux and Windows management, database infrastructure, application engineering, DevOps, information security, and more. Some teams technologist interns might work with include Information Security, Infrastructure Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, Quant Systems, and Application Engineering. The role offers the opportunity to be part of an inclusive, collaborative, and engaging working environment. The program is expected to run from June to August 2024.

What you’ll do day-to-day

Your responsibilities may include full stack web development, building automation solutions for software and hardware deployments, administration of various infrastructure-level systems, and/or developing automation and efficiency improvements for all platforms. Specific projects will be matched to your interests and experience; recent examples include building automation for operating system upgrades, optimizing and automating large-scale infrastructure operations, enhancing our security information and event management systems, and collaborating with both technologists and other teams to enhance and deploy a full stack web app for firmwide use.

Who we’re looking for
  • Applicants should be working toward a degree in computer science, computer engineering, or another technical discipline.
  • Well-developed verbal and written communication skills are a must, as are proven organizational and time management abilities.
  • A solid foundation in computer science—with competence in algorithms, software development, or systems infrastructure—is beneficial in this role. Exposure to Python is a plus.
  • Practical experience in one of our focus areas (Windows, Linux/UNIX, or database management) is also a plus but not required.
  • 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.

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.
