Campus UI Software Engineer (Intern)

Jump Trading Group is committed to world-class research. We empower exceptional talents in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science to push the boundaries of scientific discovery and apply cutting-edge research to global financial markets. Our culture values constant innovation, intellectual honesty, fearlessness, creativity, and a relentless competitive streak. We believe in winning together and unlocking unique individual talent through incentives for collaboration and mutual respect. At Jump, research outcomes drive more than superior risk-adjusted returns—we design, develop, and deploy technologies that change the world, fund start-ups across industries, and partner with leading global research organizations and universities to solve complex problems.

Core Development is a global team of technologists who architect, build, and maintain our world-class trading platform. From optimizing our core trading engine to building custom hardware, we leverage software and hardware engineering, data science, and research to deliver the infrastructure and tools that drive our trading and business needs.

Note: We accept students needing placements or otherwise extended internships. Internships may take place during a non-summer term (for example, winter, spring, or fall) if preferable.
