Job description

You don’t just enjoy writing code — you want to see it used on live deals? You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where finance meets technology?

Working alongside colleagues from more than 25 countries on cross-border M&A transactions across Europe is something that excites you? You bring an analytical, solution-oriented mindset and care about measurable output quality — not vibes?

Then you are exactly who we are looking for — because this is what you will do with us every day!

As one of Europe’s leading mid-market M&A boutiques, we thrive on the energy and creativity of our people. We are looking for a team-oriented and dependable personality who is energised by the pace of international dealmaking.

Why you should apply:

• Real users are waiting from week one: deal teams who rely on your tools on live mandates across multiple jurisdictions.
• You own every tool from spec to production — no hand-offs, no waiting.
• Get a front-row seat to cross-border M&A in Europe’s industrial economy, working with teams in Vienna, London, Istanbul and beyond.
• Paid access to the AI tools and APIs you need to build. You will work directly with the team driving MP’s AI & automation agenda and alongside the deal teams who use the output.
• Hybrid working hours that flex around your exams.
• Additional benefits such as our MyClubs sports program, company doctor, and professional development programs.

The gross monthly salary (full-time equivalent) starts at EUR 3,143 and depends on your qualifications and experience. The actual number of hours is depending on your availability and can be arranged flexibly.

What you will build:

• Screening tools that read thousands of company websites and sort an M&A longlist into fits, non-fits and maybes – each with a written rationale.
• Pipelines that extract financials from annual reports, filings and data exports, validate them, and produce clean Excel outputs.
• Generators for Excel and PowerPoint deliverables along MP’s style guide.
• Agent skills and workflows on our AI platform, complete with evaluation sets to measure the share of correct outputs.
• Small internal web apps including proper access control and documentation in order for others to run them.

What we expect from you:

• Ongoing or completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in either computer science, data science, machine learning, engineering or a quantitative field. Alternatively, an equivalent track record of things you have built — please share GitHub, portfolio or demo links with your application.
• Solid Python knowledge beyond notebooks, and everyday Git: branches, pull requests, code review.
• Hands-on work with LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI or open models): prompts for structured extraction, function/tool calling, and evaluation.
• Basic understanding of REST APIs, JSON and basic SQL.
• Productive use of AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex)
• Fluency in English; German or another European language is a plus.
• A genuine interest in finance, M&A and the fast-moving world of international transactions.
• Discretion – you will see confidential deal information.

MP Corporate Finance is an equal-opportunity employer that values diversity. We welcome applications from candidates with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.

Are you looking for a challenging working-student position in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment where you can make a real impact on international M&A deals? We look forward to receiving your application!
