From Bridgewater Associates's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Bridgewater Associates is a premier asset management firm, focused on delivering unique insight and partnership for the most sophisticated global institutional investors.
Our investment process is driven by a tireless pursuit to understand how the world’s markets and economies work — using cutting-edge technology to validate and execute on timeless and universal investment principles.
Founded in 1975, we are a community of independent thinkers who share a commitment for excellence. By fostering a culture of openness, transparency, and inclusion, we strive to unlock the most complex questions in investment strategy, management, and corporate culture.

Our Culture
Our culture is anchored in excellence, meaning constant improvement, and it is deeply tied to our mission. Because markets are objective, competitive, and getting smarter everyday
, we need to keep rapidly improving to have any chance of beating them. Truth is our most essential tool for engaging with the markets and constantly improving because once you know
true about your problems and opportunities, you can determine how to get better. Valuing truth means being transparent about your decision-making and mistakes, giving and receiving feedback with humility, and fighting for the best answers over hierarchy, ego, or self-interest. Operating this way is hard – it's only possible because we build meaning in our work and relationships. This meaning comes from the audacity of the mission, and the joy of working alongside people who make you a better version of yourself.
The culture
, like Bridgewater itself, is always evolving. In 1997 our founder Ray Dalio wrote down his lessons, starting with a Philosophy Statement which remains our foundation. This later evolved into a set of 300+ Principles. In 2022, when Ray transitioned the company, we re-underwrote several of those principles and evolved others, with a specific focus on Meritocracy.
Today the culture sits, alongside our people, as our most important edge. When we get it right, it’s the engine that powers everything else.
This role sits in our Asia Strategies department, whose goal is to continue our growth down the journey of being the premier investment management firm in Asia. This entails developing great investment strategies reflecting our expertise
, generating alpha in the markets, researching and publishing our understanding of the macroeconomic environment, and designing solutions to help our clients invest across the region.
Within Asia Strategies, Asia
Commodities is a dedicated investment team responsible for generating alpha and managing risk. The team's research and signals feed directly into the commodities strategy for Bridgewater's largest funds in the region.
We're seeking a Data Engineer to join the Commodities team within Asia Strategies, embedded directly on the desk with direct impact on trading strategies and exposure to the CIO and Senior PMs responsible for key Asia strategies.
You'll work in a tight-knit, fast-paced environment where the pipelines and data you own feed directly into live investment decisions.
This position emphasizes (1) direct ownership of vendor data relationships and quality, (2) research-adjacent problem solving — understanding why the team needs the data concepts before you analyze it, (3) data operations spanning the full research cycle, from raw vendor feed to modeled data to live dashboards and trading indicators
, and (4) sitting inside the investment process and developing expertise in Asia Commodities as an asset class.
Given the size of the team, you'll drive your own agenda rather than wait to be told
next — spotting a gap before it's flagged, pushing through a fix rather than escalating and waiting.
We're looking for someone entrepreneurial and resourceful, who wants to build serious infrastructure while staying close to a live book and the decisions it drives.
Compensation
The expected annual base salary for this position is $150,000-$200,000. The total compensation package includes variable compensation in the form of a discretionary target bonus.
