Systems: Technical Program Manager Intern (New York) – Summer 2024

The D. E. Shaw group seeks motivated individuals with impressive records of academic and/or professional achievement to join our summer internship program. Systems program managers plan and coordinate key Systems projects and initiatives, and help provide strategic direction in managing the firm’s global technology infrastructure. Potential projects might cover the full development lifecycle, including research, execution, and dependency tracking. The role offers the opportunity to be part of an inclusive and collaborative working environment, as program manager interns will work closely with groups across Systems, including Information Security, Infrastructure Engineering, and Application Engineering. The program is expected to run from June to August 2024.

WHAT YOU'LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
You’ll work on a variety of both product and project management tasks related to improving efficiency and ensuring the success of a technology project, which may involve light prototyping for a technical workflow, user research and requirements gathering, UX design, technical documentation, defining success metrics, and spearheading status meetings. You might analyze vendor options for a new technology, build out a novel purchasing workflow for the team, or create a proof of concept for a new alerting application.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
• Applicants should have prior experience with product or project management.
• A proficient technological foundation—including basic knowledge of core computer science concepts (e.g., networking, storage, operating systems, web development) and familiarity with a large variety of technologies—is beneficial.
• Successful candidates will be curious about technology and the initiative to spearhead improvements (e.g., in organization and efficiency).
• Creativity and a collaborative approach are important attributes for program manager interns.
• In keeping with our firm’s culture and the ever-changing nature of our work, we’re more interested in talent, curiosity, and motivation than we are in any particular skill or expertise.
