Top IT Companies : D. E. Shaw India
D. E. Shaw India
Software Private Limited is a member of
D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P.'s Global
Information Technology Group. Established in
Hyderabad in 1996, D. E. Shaw India is a
state-of-the-art development center that works in
coordination with the parent firm's international offices
to maintain the company's technological leadership in
areas of securities information management, market
evaluation, and order execution.
In addition, D. E. Shaw India is
involved in the development of Internet-based services
that include Juno Online Services Inc. the world's first free
e-mail service, and Far Sight Financial Services which provides integrated personal financial services
over the World Wide Web.
Technology:
D. E. Shaw India invests heavily to
maintain its technical edge. Our researchers and
programmers are supported by a company-wide distributed
computing environment incorporating UNIX-based Sun
UltraSPARC file servers. On the client side, development
is done on PCs running MS Windows NT. The company's Sun
workstations and PCs are all connected via a high-speed,
fault-tolerant TCP/IP network, and data connections with
our international offices are maintained via dedicated
high-speed satellite links.
D. E. Shaw India focuses on distributed
object-oriented computing, quantitative analysis,
advanced database programming (OODBMS, RDBMS), Web-based
computing (Java, CGI programming), and network
administration.
Work Atmosphere:
As Fortune [February 5, 1996] notes,
"D. E. Shaw doesn't just have
lots of 'rocket scientists.' This place is run
by rocket scientists." Informality is the general
rule, with work hours flexible and casual dress common.
The company puts a premium on research and development,
and gives employees ample opportunities to augment their
already considerable expertise.
While many companies profess a commitment to a team
philosophy, D. E. Shaw India takes this
concept seriously. Software professionals work in small,
often intercontinental groups. Competition is kept to a
minimum, and team members are judged not only on their
individual contributions but also on the impact they have
on the work of colleagues based anywhere from Boston to
Tokyo.
D. E. Shaw India values results over
hierarchy. Managers are integrated with groups of
software professionals, and discussions are open and
honest. This high level of interaction ensures that
individual contributions are rapidly noticed, and that
opportunities for swift advancement are considerable.
Recruitment:
Experienced candidates for positions with
D. E. Shaw India generally come from
leading multinational and Indian software development
companies, while graduate students hail from
computation-intensive programs (including, but not
limited to, computer science programs) at the nation's
top universities.
As a young and growing organization,
D. E. Shaw India offers its staff the
opportunities of a start-up company along with the
resources of a successful multinational firm. Individuals
