Virtu Financial

The careers site groups its core hiring tracks into quantitative traders, quant researchers, developers, sales and product specialists, and support; intern projects are drawn from across those teams, with active full-time vacancies posted to Virtu's Greenhouse careers board across New York, Austin, Dublin, Singapore and Hong Kong. Because Virtu's intern openings are posted as individual roles tied to specific desks (quantitative trading, software engineering, trading operations) rather than as a single funnel, candidates choose the technical track at the application stage rather than rotating into one mid-summer.

It is a publicly listed firm (NASDAQ: VIRT) whose business is principally market making in equities, fixed income, FX, options and commodities, combined with a client-facing execution services arm – a different model from the closed prop trading firms it is often grouped with, and one that exposes early-career hires to both proprietary trading and client coverage workflows. For candidates choosing between quant-trading employers, the consequence is which technical surface dominates the work: ultra-low-latency market making across a very wide instrument universe, rather than the deeper-but-narrower research horizons typical at signal-driven hedge funds.
