Spotlight on Technology Careers
Engineering Systems to Understand the World
We believe that the global economic machine can be understood, so we strive to build a fundamental, cause-and-effect understanding of markets and economies. This mission is impossible to accomplish without great technology. Our technologists collaborate with our investors to design, engineer, and run platforms that enable systemization and scale in everything we do.
Work Alongside World-Class Technologists
Our technologists are organized into small teams in an intellectually rigorous environment. They partner with our most senior investors to envision and build solutions to the challenge of understanding and trading markets. Your peers bring with them deep experience from leading tech firms and renowned startups.
Sharpen Bridgewater's Competitive Edge
Our overarching goal is to reflect an expert understanding of how the world’s markets work into a systematic logic model — compiled over 40 years. Bridgewater's technologists build the platforms that unlock the firm's ability to apply this intricate understanding across environments, markets, and time in a way no individual investor could, fueling decades of success.
None of Our Challenges Are Routine
Investing systematically is a zero-sum competitive environment with high rewards: It requires unique insights, immense and well-structured data, and differentiating tools and platforms. Our technologists work on everything from novel languages that enable the systemization of logic, market simulation environments, secure and performant hybrid cloud platforms, and custom low-latency trade execution pipelines.

As a home for both leading experts and rising talent, we take pride in fostering relationships and experiences that deepen the meaning of everyday work. In addition to the broader sense of community Bridgewater fosters, we also work to ensure our technologists feel embraced and challenged by their high-caliber peers through events like tech talks, hackathons, social events, and conferences.
