SOFTWARE DEVELOPER - 
Research Technology is building the next generation platform to fuel Bridgewater’s macro‐economic research, modeling, simulation, and visualization. We are changing how Bridgewater, the world's largest hedge fund, discovers and systemizes new fundamental economic understanding – the core of our business. We are looking for the best engineers in the world to join us on our mission. This is the hardest problem that most of us have ever seen. The intellectual ambition of our endeavor ‐‐ to build a studio (like an IDE) for macro‐economists to use to develop a model of how the entire world works ‐‐ is breathtaking. It begs for creative invention, from UI/UX breakthroughs to new architecture/systems design, and everything in between. The engineering challenge is tough; we have large volumes of data, always‐increasing performance demands, and the security constraints that come from working with the firm's most valuable intellectual property. Our collaboration with end users, some of the most sophisticated economic thinkers in the world, is intense and demanding by nature.
