Job description

About the Quantitative Research Internship

The quant research internship is an intensive 10‑week program focused on enhancing your quantitative and programming skills, as well as helping you experience what it's like to be a full‑time quant researcher at Jump.

At Jump our people contribute to trading teams in the following roles, or a blend of all three: quantitative researcher, algorithmic trader, and software developer – so our internship program is designed to train you in a variety of areas. Topics include machine learning, trading/market mechanics, C++, statistics, and especially our research process for signal generation.

Our trading teams are comprised of traders, quantitative researchers, and engineers who collaboratively examine global markets, applying statistical analysis and data mining to develop forecasting and predictive trading models.

Applying lessons from training, you will first work with fellow interns to develop your own predictive models and automated trading strategies for live trading.

Then you'll have the opportunity to work with two of our trading teams for three weeks each. During each rotation you'll work on a project for the trading team while being mentored by experienced quant researchers, traders, and developers.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop predictive models and automated trading strategies for live trading.
• Collaborate with two trading teams for three weeks each, working on projects under mentorship from experienced quant researchers, traders, and developers.
• Perform other duties as assigned or needed.

Who Should Apply

• Sharp analytical mind from top undergraduate or graduate programs.
• Uncommon drive to learn and improve, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong programming and quantitative analysis skills (statistics, data mining, mathematics, machine learning).
• No prior knowledge of finance or trading is necessary.
• Outstanding math and programming skills with a curiosity about improving research with daily feedback from competitive markets.
• Reliable and predictable availability required.
• International students eligible for CPT/OPT are encouraged to apply; work visas for full‑time positions are sponsored.
