• Knowledge of, and coursework in, finance, linear algebra, statistics, and data science
• Proficient programming ability in Python
• Proficient agentic (AI) coding ability
• Knowledge of databases like SQL and/or KDB
• Excellent organizational skills and a strong attention to detail
• Strong problem-solving skills
• A passion for financial markets and a desire to learn more about the strategies deployed by hedge funds

Our Internship

Kick-start your career in finance with the Schonfeld Summer Internship. Over the course of 10 weeks, you will build solutions that tackle real-world challenges and make an impact at the firm. You will join a close-knit team, paired with a dedicated manager and mentor to guide your development over the internship and beyond. Throughout the program, you will connect with senior leaders through learning sessions, attend hands-on skills workshops, network at social events, and see how various functions power the firm. You will be empowered to bring your ideas to life and make an impact.
