W.I.S.V. 'Christiaan Huygens'
Quantitative Trader London
About the position:
As a Quantitative Trading Intern, you’ll be paired with experienced traders who will teach you how to identify market signals, analyse and execute strategies, construct quantitative models, conduct statistical analysis, and build trading intuition. You’ll work on projects alongside mentors in two different areas of trading, giving you a sense of the variety of problems we solve every day. In the past, these projects have included conducting studies on new or existing datasets, building quantitative models, writing tools, and even considering big-picture questions that we’re still trying to figure out. Throughout the summer, you’ll also participate in dozens of simulated interactive team-based mock trading sessions.
About you:
We don’t expect you to have a background in finance or any other specific field—we’re looking for smart people who enjoy solving interesting problems. We’re more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know.
You should be:
- A strong quantitative thinker who enjoys working
collaboratively on a team - Eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, and learn new things
- Fluent in English
- Knowing a particular programming language is not required,
but general programming experience is a plus.
