The D. E. Shaw group uses a combination of quantitative and

compliance professionals to help ensure that the firm’s business
activities are conducted in strict accordance with regulatory
requirements. The Compliance group is an integral part of our global
Financial Operations group and is responsible for implementing and
enforcing policies and procedures across multiple regulatory
requirements. This position affords the opportunity for broad exposure
to the firm’s trading, operations, and software development groups, as
well as the chance to handle real-time issues related to the firm’s
expanding suite of global investment products in a dynamic, constantly
evolving regulatory environment.
WHAT YOU WILL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
In this role, you will be assisting the Front Office Trading desks by
