Quantitative Trading Internship: Summer 2027

Quantitative Trading Internship: Summer 2027

Overview

Susquehanna’s 10-week quantitative trading internship offers a rare insight into working at one of the world’s leading quantitative trading firms. Designed for intellectually curious and driven individuals with strong quantitative skill sets, the internship combines rigorous classroom-based education with real-world trading experience.

Run by a team of dedicated senior traders, the education programme is widely recognized as being the best in the industry. Classroom-based education covers topics such as ETF and options trading, game theory, and programming. If you don’t have a finance background, the programme will teach you everything you need to succeed.

A core strength of the internship is the combination of education with hands-on project work and trading simulations. Working alongside a dedicated mentor, you will have the opportunity to work on a real-world trading problem that can impact trading strategies, improve tools, or uncover new market insights.

What We’re Looking For

• Problem solver: You enjoy solving puzzles and like discovering solutions to complex problems.
• Clear communicator: You enjoy building relationships with those you work closely with, and you are comfortable sharing ideas, expressing your thoughts, and listening to the views of others.
• Ambitious: You set personal goals and give your all to achieve them—whether in arts, sports, academics, or another passion.
• Penultimate-year or recently graduated student: You should have completed 3 years at university by June 2027. Successful interns will be invited to join the full-time graduate programme in either September 2027, January 2028, or August 2028, depending on availability.
