About the role

Senior Analyst/Lead Analyst – Treasury – Financial Research

The D. E. Shaw group is a global investment and technology development firm with more than $85 billion in investment capital as of December 1, 2025, and offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. Since our founding in 1988, our firm has earned an international reputation for successful investing based on innovation, careful risk management, and the quality and depth of our staff. We have a significant presence in the world’s capital markets, investing in a wide range of companies and financial instruments in both developed and developing economies.

We are looking for candidates to join the Treasury function within our Financial Research group in Hyderabad or Bengaluru. The team is responsible for structuring the optimal financing of our investment portfolios, maintaining the firm’s financing relationships, managing fund capital usage, and reducing non-market risks. As a member of the team, you will gain direct exposure to financial analytics and model-building, while collaborating closely with investment and technology teams, as well as external counterparties.

WHAT YOU WILL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
In this role, you will work alongside the global Treasury team to deliver complex analytics and financial modeling projects. You will analyze large volumes and trends in historical and real-time data related to trades, positions, exposures, financing accruals, and margin requirements. As part of this work, you will build, enhance, and maintain Excel and Python-based models and analytical tools to support financing optimization, stress-scenario analysis, and pricing negotiations. You will also perform user acceptance testing (UAT) and validation of model outputs to ensure accuracy and reliability. Additionally, you will develop dashboards and data visualization panels using proprietary and commonly used analytical frameworks. You will contribute to regulatory scenario analysis, including constructing sample portfolios and comparing outcomes under varying assumptions. In parallel, you will also support day-to-day Treasury workflows—such as securities lending, cash management, alternative funding facilities, monitoring Uncleared Margin Rules and debit agreements, and counterparty risk monitoring – while collaborating closely with technology and other Financial Research teams to streamline data sourcing, reporting, and workflow automation
