DE Shaw Private Credit?

A headhunter reached out to me recently about a private credit job at DE Shaw. I was a little surprised because I typically associate them with more markets-oriented, hedge fund-y strategies.

Does anybody know anything about their credit group?

 

Bump - Had a call with a headhunter and they said the group is building out their private credit arm.

Anyone know what the case study looks like?

 

Aren't all these elite HF private credit arms just asset hoarding? Obviously they can't compete with a volume shop like Ares/BX and haven't seen one yet trying to differentiate by doing hairy/non-sponsor/distressed/etc. private credit.

 

Following. From Googling seems like they're more focused on ABS than corporate credit?
