We are seeking an experienced engineering leader to join our QS Dev team in Hyderabad as a Project Manager / Associate Director. QS Dev – Core Tech is a specialized technology group responsible for developing and supporting the computing infrastructure that underpins the D. E. Shaw group’s quantitative trading and research. The team builds and maintains a broad portfolio of mission-critical systems — including HPC schedulers and orchestration, service management, container and environment management, GPU compute infrastructure, high-performance networking, distributed storage, and Linux platform engineering — to support both on-premises and cloud-based computer environments. QS Dev partners closely with quantitative researchers to design, implement, and optimize scalable technology that serves as the foundation for many of the firm’s most sophisticated trading strategies and analytics. In this role, you will lead a team of 10–15 engineers and serve as both a people leader and a subject-matter expert in distributed systems and platform engineering. You will be expected to balance hands-on technical leadership — including architecture reviews, design guidance, and code-level engagement where necessary — with the stakeholder management, operational rigor, and team-building responsibilities that define a high-performing engineering organization.
