Arcesium

Arcesium started in 2015 as an independent company, building on a platform that the D. E. Shaw group had developed and tested in-house, with D. E. Shaw and Blackstone Alternative Asset Management as its first backers. The New York-based firm provides software and related services for investment data and operations to hedge funds, private markets managers, institutional asset managers, banks and asset servicers. Its main platforms are Opterra, which runs front-to-back operations such as reconciliations, accounting and regulatory reporting; Aquata, for data; and Limina, for investment management. Its India company, Arcesium India Private Limited, has worked from Hyderabad since the launch and opened offices in Bengaluru in 2020 and in the Delhi NCR (Gurugram) in 2021.

Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Gurugram are where Arcesium's finance-related roles in India sit. Some are product roles that shape the financial reporting and tax features of its software; others are in valuation, at analyst and manager level, and in payroll for its own India team. Postings ask for a bachelor's or master's degree in finance, financial engineering, mathematics, statistics or economics, with CFA or FRM a strong plus, or a degree in finance, accounting, HR or business administration, or an MBA.
