Quantitative Strategy Developer Internship: Summer 2027

Overview

Susquehanna is looking for highly motivated full-time students for our 10-week quantitative strategy development summer internship program based at our US Headquarters. This program offers students currently enrolled at universities in Hong Kong or Singapore the opportunity to intern in the US with the intention of long-term placement in our Hong Kong office.

This is a computationally intensive role that will allow you to use your strong technical skills to solve problems at the intersection of trading, quantitative research, and technology. Throughout the summer, you will receive education about how markets work through a deep dive into financial markets and Susquehanna’s approach to trading. You will work on challenging projects for our trading strategy development teams in areas such as signal creation and detection, quantitative strategy analysis, and low-latency C++ strategy development. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to work on projects side by side with senior developers who understand the nuances of building complex trading strategies.

What we’re looking for

• Studying at a Hong Kong or Singapore based university and plan to graduate in 2028.
• Enrolled in a bachelor’s or master’s program in computer science, computer engineering, mathematics, or closely related STEM discipline.
• Strong software development skills in C#, C++, or Python.
• Strong numerical programming or HPC experience is a plus.
• Experience developing performance-sensitive code is a plus.

What’s in it for you

• Our non-hierarchical culture allows employees of every level to thrive and make an impact. We are not your typical trading firm—the environment is casual, collaborative, and focused on continuous development.
• Travel and housing covered for the duration of the internship.
• Relaxed dress code: jeans and sneakers are the norm; shorts are allowed for the summer.
• Fully stocked kitchens for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages.
• A forty thousand square-foot state-of-the-art fitness facility with brand-new equipment, multi-purpose courts, group exercise classes, and locker room spaces.
• Discounts for dining, entertainment, shopping, travel, and attractions.
• Social events including a poker tournament, dinners, and sporting events in Philadelphia.
• On-site Wellness Center and services such as a mailroom, barber, dry cleaning, and car maintenance.
• Opportunities to give back to the community through Susquehanna-sponsored events and donation drives.
