Intern - Software Engineer

The Role: As a Software Engineer Intern, you'll spend two months solving real engineering problems that feed straight into our trading and research systems. From day one you'll work alongside experienced engineers, quantitative researchers, building software that moves large volumes of data and stands behind live trading decisions.

This isn't a shadowing internship. You could be debugging a system in the morning and watching your fix run against live markets the same week. You'll own projects, write production-quality code and see your ideas make a tangible impact.

What You'll Do

• Design and build software components that power our trading and research platforms
• Write performant, reliable applications in modern C++ and across our stack
• Work on systems where speed, scalability and correctness are non-negotiable
• Analyze, debug and optimize live systems to improve efficiency and performance
• Take part in code reviews and technical discussions with senior engineers

What You'll Learn: Over two months, you'll get hands-on with the concepts that define modern quant infrastructure:

• High-performance systems engineering and low-latency application design
• Distributed systems and large-scale infrastructure
• Linux-based development used in production trading systems
• The software design principles real trading systems are built on
• Real-world problem solving in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Throughout, a dedicated mentor and buddy along with a reporting manager will work with you directly, accelerating both your technical and professional growth.

Your Skills & Talents
Education: Pursuing a Bachelor's degree (2028 graduate) in Mathematics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering with a strong academic record (8.5+ CGPA, no backlogs).

Personal Attributes:

• Strong problem-solving skills and the composure to perform under pressure in a fast-paced environment
