Job description

What you will do:

Our Web Dev / UI software engineering internship is an intensive 10-week experience at Jump Trading.

During your internship, you will use advanced Typescript, Python, and modern Web frameworks to build Web-based applications that interact with several components of our real-time trading platform.

Our internship program is the primary way we identify top young software engineers for our core development team, and it’s a proven path for earning full-time or return internship opportunities at Jump Trading in London.

You will take on projects working on production code and gain experience with our full-cycle process for development, testing, and release using Agile methodologies. May also include other duties as assigned or needed.

NOTE

We accept students needing placements or otherwise extended internships. We also allow internships to take place during a non-summer term (for example - the winter, spring, or fall months) if preferable when it makes sense.

Skills you will need:

• Hands‑on experience and a high level of proficiency in one or more of the following: Web development using Python and Typescript; Python development on Linux platform; strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and threading models; ability to work with a team in a fast‑paced environment, deploying new software daily.
• Passion for solving complex problems and learning to build optimal solutions from scratch, instead of simply assembling things from existing libraries. Interest in using knowledge from several areas -- such as hardware, networking, OS design -- to produce extremely high-performance software.
• Reliable and predictable availability.
• No finance or economics study or work experience required.

Also helpful, but not required:

• Comfort in React.
• Claude code in a real work environment.
• Past internship or job experience in a software development role is a plus.
