 Our teams work collaboratively to combine human insight with machine intelligence—building and evolving the systems that drive our research and investment process. This requires people who are not only strong thinkers, but also builders—able to interrogate our systems by translating ideas into systematic approaches and continuously improving decision-making over time.

 To get the most out of everyone, and therefore get to better answers, we are focused on building a truly inclusive environment. To do this, it requires Bridgewater to be a big tent—where vast differences between people and perspectives are made possible by our shared values of truth, integrity, equality, mutual consideration, and a desire to build and improve through thoughtful disagreements with people who are different from us.
