Tower Research Capital

Tower Research Capital's internship page lists Summer 2026 openings across five distinct tracks, each tied to a specific team and city:

• Quantitative Trader Intern – New York (PhD 2026)
• Quantitative Researcher Intern – New York
• Core Engineering Intern – Gurgaon
• Software Developer Intern – Montreal
• Venture Capital Intern – New York

These are individual role postings rather than a single rotational intern class. A candidate is applying into one team's hiring need in one city, so the role-and-location choice is binding up front, ahead of any firm-wide intern programming.

Three further specifics shape the early-career fit:

• The firm was founded in 1998 by Mark Gorton, placing it among the longer-running automated trading shops still operating independently.
• It runs 14 offices across major financial centers – New York, Chicago, Charleston, Montreal, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Dubai, Gurugram, GIFT City, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and George Town.
• A separate Ventures arm runs its own internships, distinct from the trading and engineering tracks.

For someone weighing prop trading shops, the team-based model means the day-to-day environment hinges on which desk hires you: a small team has interns wearing many hats; a larger group runs as its own multi-functional operation.
