Opening for Junior Trader

My firm (D.E.Shaw & Co.) seeks an Asia-based trader to work with one of our trading groups.

Responsibilities include proposing, analyzing, and executing investment opportunities in the Equity-linked/ Convertible Bonds space.

The position will originally be located in New Delhi, but candidates should be open to relocation to Singapore or Hong Kong.

The ideal candidate would have an advanced degree in a quantitative discipline (mathematics, physics, engineering, or computer science) from a premier institution (IIT, IISc, ISI, or similar). A Master's degree in business administration from a premier institute (IIM or similar) would be a plus, as would programming experience.
