Qube RT

QRT recruits early-career talent through its careers site into three streams:

• Internship – 4–6 months, for penultimate- and final-year Bachelor's and Master's students, with most interns starting in April, May, or June. Quantitative-research interns work in one of two areas: signal Research or systematic Trading.
• Graduate roles – full-time positions across quantitative trading, technology, and production support; the firm states the internship is its route to a graduate offer on successful completion.
• PhD & postdoc – dedicated quantitative-researcher openings in London, Paris, and Zurich.

Functions span quantitative research and trading, quantitative technology and development, software and data engineering, and machine learning across Aarhus, Budapest, Dubai, Geneva, London, Paris, Zurich, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai. Because the internship is the main feeder into the graduate cohort, a spring-start internship application is effectively a bid for a full-time seat the following year rather than a standalone summer placement – so it runs on a different clock from the autumn-recruiting banks a candidate may be applying to in parallel.

The firm spun out of Credit Suisse's quantitative and systematic asset-management unit in a 2018 management buyout led by Pierre-Yves Morlat (CEO) and Laurent Laizet (CIO), and by early 2026 independent reporting put it at roughly US$38–42 billion in assets and about 1,400 employees – fast growth for a firm under a decade old as an independent. For an applicant that means a platform model where research, trading, and technology sit on shared infrastructure rather than in siloed pods, and a headcount trajectory that has kept early-career intake open across many functions and geographies – a different bet from a specialised single-strategy shop, and worth weighing accordingly when allocating a limited number of applications.
