# AI Placement - 2027 (Imperial 6 month placement, April - September 2027) [Marshall Wace](https://www.jorb.ai/firms/marshall-wace.md) · London · United Kingdom · [Machine Learning Engineering](https://www.jorb.ai/jobs/machine-learning-engineering.md) Marshall Wace is hiring a AI Placement - 2027 (Imperial 6 month placement, April - September 2027) in London. Posted 2026-08-10; applications close 2026-10-09. **Apply**: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/mwinternshipprogram/jobs/8620541002 Posted 14d ago. ## Role details ## AI Development Placement (6 Months) Join our AI Development teams in London for a 6-month placement where you’ll work directly on projects supporting Finance, Operations, Risk, Trading, and Portfolio Management. This is not a shadowing programme—you’ll write production code, ship features, and own deliverables from day one. You’ll leave with real engineering experience across a range of technologies, a working knowledge of financial markets, and a strong foundation for a career in tech. ## About the Programme Over six months, you’ll sharpen your skills in AI, software engineering, and programming while building a practical understanding of how a systematic hedge fund operates. You’ll join one of our AI-focused teams, which builds the services, models, and data assets that bring generative AI into Marshall Wace’s investment and operations workflows. The goal is straightforward: enable every engineer in the firm to use AI/ML effectively without needing to be a specialist—while ensuring that specialist knowledge is developed during your placement. Day to day, you could be adding features to our AI platform, developing backend services, building LLM pipelines, or improving our RAG engine. You’ll own specific projects end to end—from design through development, implementation, and review—not just contribute to someone else’s work. If you have a strong interest and aptitude in machine learning, you may also have the opportunity to design and train models for use cases across the firm. ## Candidate Profile - Strong coding ability, ideally in Python - Demonstrated interest or coursework in Machine Learning and AI (through personal projects and research) - Curiosity about financial markets (no prior finance experience required) ## Additional Information We’re looking for candidates who have already covered AI/ML topics in their studies and can demonstrate genuine technical depth in this area. Prior project work or coursework in machine learning will be an advantage, particularly personal projects that show your interest. **Application deadline:** 16/10/2026 ## Applying to this role This AI Placement - 2027 (Imperial 6 month placement, April - September 2027) role at Marshall Wace runs through the firm's own careers portal and expects a CV and cover letter written specifically for the posting, not a portable submission carried across firms.
