• Experience with SQL, databases, APIs, or streaming technologies.
• Strong financial-markets knowledge and experience within a hedge fund, proprietary trading firm, asset manager, investment bank, or fintech.
• A self-driven mindset and genuine interest in solving difficult technical problems.

Nice to Have

• Gain direct visibility into how your work influences research, trading, and investment decisions.
• Work with exceptional portfolio managers, quantitative researchers, traders, and engineers.
