Machine Learning Research Engineering Intern

As a Machine Learning Research Engineering Intern, you will design and evaluate machine learning systems that support quantitative research. You will work alongside experienced researchers and engineers to build scalable pipelines, process large datasets, and apply state-of-the-art machine learning methods to real-world problems in systematic investing. This internship provides exposure to both practical engineering challenges and research-driven exploration in machine learning for quantitative finance.

Who Should Apply

• Ideal candidates are students pursuing an advanced degree who are curious, creative, and eager to learn. You enjoy tackling challenging problems at the intersection of software and machine learning. No prior finance experience is required, though an interest in quantitative finance is a plus.
• You should be comfortable coding in at least one major language such as Python, Rust, or C/C++, and familiar with modern ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX. We are looking for strong engineering skills—writing clean, efficient code and working hands-on with model development and deployment while contributing effectively to the team.
• We prioritize curiosity, talent, and impact over simply checking boxes. You will thrive if you can balance independent work with collaboration, communicate clearly, manage your time effectively, and remain open to learning from mentors and peers.
• Bonus points for staying current with advances in AI/ML, experience optimizing algorithms for specialized hardware, or contributing to open-source projects.
