## Role details

WorldQuant develops and deploys systematic financial strategies across a broad range of asset classes and global markets. We seek to produce high-quality predictive signals (alphas) through our proprietary research platform, applying financial strategies focused on market inefficiencies. Our teams work collaboratively to drive the production of alphas and financial strategies—the foundation of a balanced, global investment platform.

WorldQuant is built on a culture that pairs academic sensibility with accountability for results. Employees are encouraged to think openly about problems, balancing intellectualism and practicality. Excellent ideas come from anyone, anywhere. Employees are expected to challenge conventional thinking and maintain an attitude of continuous improvement.

We aim to hire the best and the brightest. We value intellectual horsepower and outstanding talent. There is no predefined roadmap to future success, so we look for people who can help build it.

## The Role

WorldQuant is looking for a **Quant Developer Intern** to join the **Portfolio Management Solutions** team. This is an ideal opportunity for a technically strong student who enjoys solving real problems and wants hands-on exposure to systems that directly support portfolio management operations.

You will work alongside expert developers and portfolio managers, contributing to systems, interfaces, and tools used in day-to-day portfolio management workflows. We value clear thinking, strong fundamentals, and a proactive attitude. Prior industry experience is not required, but you should think rigorously and pick things up quickly.

Strong performers will be considered for a full-time Quant Developer role upon graduation.
