Two Sigma

We’re rigorous about our work and developing our people. We’re building great technology and a great culture. And we’re finding solutions to some of the world’s hardest problems while creating a collaborative learning environment in which to tackle them. Here you’ll find exciting challenges and diverse opportunities, and the best teachers around.

At Two Sigma we know that diversity drives innovation. One key area of focus for our diversity efforts, particularly in engineering, is the proactive engagement of women. Our Women at Two Sigma (W@TS) group supports a number of important initiatives, including our early careers mentoring program, pairing recent female engineering graduates with a mentor to guide them through their first year at Two Sigma. We also actively support the women’s engineering community at large, hosting events like Women in STEM and Women Who Code in our offices.

Each year we like to challenge ourselves with a hard, but fun, engineering problem. It always involves programming artificial intelligence systems to battle in a head-to-head competition. In previous years we’ve built AIs to play computer games, card games, and shuffleboard against our employees and each other.  2016’s epic battle saw humans and AIs squaring off across an air hockey table. That’s right—we programmed AIs to play air hockey. How? You might wonder. And who won? Check out this video to find out, and witness the complete story of the 2016 TS Cup.

We use technology to help create value for real people: through our investors and in the community around us. Retirees, researchers, students and medical patients are just some of the people who can ultimately benefit from our work. 

COMMUNITY

TECHNOLOGY & DATA

Technology drives our business. We use machine learning, distributed computing and other technologies to find connections in the world’s data. We’ve been pushing the frontiers of Big Data since before it was a buzzword. To us, it’s just data. We work with vast sets of it, from over ten thousand diverse sources.

RESEARCH & THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Guided by the scientific method, we devise models that begin with inspired ideas or economic hypotheses. In a systematic, process-driven fashion, models are expanded, tested and integrated into our investment strategies.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

We’re always looking to improve our investment strategies, measuring our results as we go along. So we can make more intelligent trading decisions, with one eye on generating real alpha, and the other on effectively managing risk.
