Houston, TX
Job Description
What you’ll do:
Dive into challenging, results-oriented projects. Work in close collaboration with our researchers to solve problems in areas including mathematical modeling, machine learning, algorithmic trading, and computational development. Enjoy an informal and intellectually stimulating environment. Successful internship may lead to full-time employment upon graduation.
Based on your interests and skills, you’ll be matched with projects within our Core Research and Strategy Execution teams. Immersing yourself into big data sets for model estimation and event studies is only half the battle. Not only do you have to understand the structure of the data, but also how to translate your models into optimal decision making. You will work alongside Quantlab’s researchers to tackle these challenges, and optimize existing and develop new algorithmic trading strategies.
What you’ll have:
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree in Physics, Pure or Applied Math, Statistics, Electrical, Chemical or Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or Industrial Engineering/Operations Research
Computational research and/or development experience
Ability to adapt to change quickly and to make the most of a collaborative environment
Applied experience in C++/Python (preferred) and other languages (R, Julia, …)
Skills in mathematical methods and modeling
An innate need to decompose and understand complexities
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Also helpful, but not required:
Past internship or job experience in a quantitative research role
Advanced coursework in machine learning, algorithms and network programming
Quantlab
Houston, TX
We are a group that has proven the power of science and technology in the financial markets for nearly two decades.We’re scientists and technologists who happen to trade. Many of us come from other, non-financial industries—academics from major institutions, software developers from top tech companies, engineers from leading hardware providers. We were tired of working in conventional academic, corporate or trading environments and the politics, internal competition and distractions so often prevalent in those places.
In Quantlab, we have created a different kind of financial trading firm. We’re a company that invests heavily in our people and technologies to get the best out of both. We leverage the most sophisticated techniques and advanced networks to stay ahead of the curve. We embrace full automation with experienced risk managers who carefully supervise our technology-driven trading. It’s an extremely exciting, creative field—we love what we do, and we’re always looking for new ground to break.
