Two Sigma is a financial sciences company, combining data analysis, invention, and rigorous inquiry to help solve the toughest challenges in investment management, securities, private equity, and venture capital.

Our team of scientists, technologists, and academics looks beyond the traditional to develop creative solutions to complex economic problems.

**Role Eligibility:** This role is open to MS candidates with work experience and PhD candidates, both in their penultimate year of study.

## Responsibilities

  
- Develop effective techniques and/or infrastructure for a specific project or idea under the guidance of an experienced team member over roughly 10 weeks during the summer.

- Develop techniques and processes to improve understanding of how financial data influences the world around us.

## Qualifications

  
- Working toward a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or another STEM field; preferably in a PhD program, or in a Master’s program with some prior work experience.
  
- Excellent programming skills in Python (familiarity with Rust or Java is a plus) and deep knowledge of TensorFlow and/or PyTorch.
  
- Internships or course work using deep learning, LLMs, and/or reinforcement learning.
  
- Preferably, practical experience building and using data pipelines to handle large amounts of noisy data for machine learning problems.
  
- Preferably, relevant research experience that may have led to publications at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or similar venues.
  
- Understanding of basic statistics.
  
- Experience with cloud computing environments and multi-machine setups.
  
- Curiosity and interest in learning about financial data modeling in a collaborative environment.

## Compensation

The weekly base pay for this role will be between **$5,000/week (MS)** and **$5,500/week (PhD)**, based on the academic degree conferred. This role may also be eligible for other forms of compensation and benefits, such as a discretionary bonus, health and dental plans, wellness plans, and 401(k) contributions.
