KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Analyse live and historical market data — order books, funding rates, basis, venue fee schedules — to identify and validate a specific trading edge or structural inefficiency.
- Design and backtest models or signals under realistic constraints, including execution cost, latency, fee tier, and capital usage.
- Work alongside a quantitative trader on an active cross-exchange arbitrage or basis strategy, from initial hypothesis through, where warranted, live sizing.
- Contribute production-quality tooling to the desk’s research and monitoring infrastructure.
- Present findings to the team in writing and in person, and defend the methodology and conclusions under scrutiny.
Requirements
- We hire principally for quantitative reasoning and technical ability; no prior experience in finance or digital assets is required or expected.
- Currently completing, or recently completed, a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a highly quantitative discipline — mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, statistics, or a related field.
- Demonstrated excellence in programming, with proficiency in Python; working knowledge of SQL is an advantage.
- Clear evidence of quantitative depth: competition mathematics, a strong academic record, research experience, or substantive independent projects.
- Sound judgement under ambiguity, and the discipline to revise a position quickly when the data warrants it.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present a technical argument clearly to a non-specialist audience.
- Available to start immediately. This is an off-cycle intake with no fixed future start date.
Benefits
- Interns work from the same desk, on the same systems, as the full-time team, with a dedicated trader or researcher as mentor for the duration of the placement, and full access to the same fifteen-plus live venues and twenty-four-hour global trading platform the desk operates on.
