What We're Looking For

• Class of 2027: You are a master’s or bachelor’s student in their final year of study, majoring in a quantitative and/or STEM discipline such as computer science, computer engineering, mathematics or data science for example.
• Clear Communicator: You enjoy building relationships with those you work closely with and are comfortable sharing ideas, expressing your thoughts, and listening to the views of others.
• Ambitious: You’re someone that enjoys setting personal goals and giving your all to achieve them. Be it in Arts, Sports, Academics, or another passion; you’re not afraid to put in the effort to reach your full potential.
• Technically Proficient: Strong software development skills in C++, C, or Rust, along with some Python experience.
• You will have exceptional quantitative, logical reasoning, and analytical skills.
• Problem Solver: When it comes to solving problems, you use clear and sound reasoning. You’re rational and like to use numbers and data to come up with sensible solutions.

You will start off in a multiweek education program designed to give you a broad understanding of the spaces where quantitative strategy developers add value. Once you complete education, you’ll be placed on a trading team that aligns with your interests and background. This will give you the best preparation possible for a career in quantitative strategy development.
• Collaboration: You will get to work with a wide range of people in the classroom and through your project work; people who share a passion for mathematics, problem-solving, game theory, and technology.
