Goldman Sachs Hosts the 5th Edition of the Warsaw Hackathon

On November 14-15, Goldman Sachs hosted the 5th edition of the Goldman Sachs Warsaw Hackathon, the largest Goldman Sachs event in Poland to date. This year's hackathon demonstrated the ongoing collaboration between Goldman Sachs and Poland's top student talent.

The 24-hour coding challenge, which included an overnight competition, took place in the Warsaw office. Participants, primarily university students, had the opportunity to choose from two distinct challenge paths: Software Engineering and Quantitative Strats. This year, Goldman Sachs welcomed 91 candidates to participate in the event at the Warsaw Spire, one of Poland's tallest buildings. The majority of participants represented Warsaw universities, including Warsaw University of Technology (WUT), University of Warsaw (UW), Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology (PJATK), and Warsaw School of Economics (SGH). Students from Krakow and Gdansk also attended the event.

“At Goldman Sachs, engineering is at the heart of how we help drive and safeguard the global financial markets. Our Engineering Hackathon gives top local talent in Poland—particularly students and early-career technologists—the opportunity to experience our culture of innovation, collaboration, and engineering excellence firsthand. The ideas, conversations, and solutions emerging from the hackathon showcase the impact our engineers can have on global finance and help demystify what engineering means in the financial sector. This event is a key element of our engagement with the local engineering community and underlines our commitment to building a world-class engineering hub in Warsaw.” - Markku Rossi, head of the Warsaw Engineering organization

We appreciate the success of this year's hackathon and are committed to engaging with and supporting the next generation of engineering talent in Poland.
