Quantitative Development Intern

Who you are

You are an enthusiastic individual eager to dive into the world of quantitative development. With a strong proficiency in Python and Cython, you are excited about building products from the ground up. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are ready to take on the responsibility of developing and maintaining trading infrastructure. Your experience in machine learning, particularly with deep-learning architectures, sets you apart as a candidate who can contribute significantly to our team. You have a basic understanding of financial markets and instruments, which will help you navigate the complexities of trading systems. You are also keen on mentoring future junior team members as the team scales, demonstrating your commitment to growth and collaboration.

Desirable

While not mandatory, experience with SQL-like databases such as PostgreSQL and ClickHouse will be beneficial. Familiarity with performance-sensitive environments using Cython is a plus, as is any additional knowledge of financial markets.

What you'll do

As a Quantitative Development Intern, you will participate in the design and implementation of our trading infrastructure from scratch. Collaborating with stakeholders, you will help define technical requirements and make architectural decisions that shape our platform. Writing clean, well-documented code with appropriate test coverage will be a key part of your responsibilities, ensuring that our systems are robust and maintainable. You will also participate in code reviews, contributing to the technical documentation that supports our development efforts. Troubleshooting and debugging production issues will be part of your role, requiring you to be on-call on a rotating basis. You will help establish engineering best practices and coding standards, ensuring that our team operates at the highest level of efficiency. Taking ownership of smaller projects and features from design to deployment will allow you to showcase your skills and make a tangible impact on our platform.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals in the field, gaining insights and knowledge that will enhance your career. As we grow, you will have the chance to mentor junior team members, fostering a culture of learning and development. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement, as we value curiosity and a growth mindset just as much as technical skills.
