Our approach to investing is scientific: we bring together data, research, technology and trading expertise to develop and run systematic strategies. Technology is central to how QRT works. We have built a global research and execution platform spanning geographies, asset classes and trading horizons, from ultra-low-latency systems to large-scale research, analytics and risk infrastructure. We invest heavily in engineering, automation and scalable systems because better technology allows us to test ideas faster, operate more reliably and tackle harder problems. Our internships are designed to provide meaningful experience. You will join a team, contribute to real projects and learn from engineers, researchers and traders working on live problems. The environment is technical and collaborative, with opportunities to ask questions, explore different approaches and take ownership. Strong performance during the internship may lead to consideration for a full-time graduate role. ## Your Future Role at QRT As a Technology Intern, you will help build the systems, platforms and tools behind QRT’s research, trading and investment activities. You will work alongside experienced engineers, quantitative developers, researchers and traders, contributing to production technology and solving problems where performance, reliability and sound engineering judgment matter. Depending on your interests and strengths, you may join one of two Technology disciplines. ### Software Engineer — Hong Kong or Singapore Software Engineers build the technology that underpins QRT’s trading and investment activities. This includes the platforms and infrastructure that connect us to global markets, brokers and data providers, as well as systems used for order generation, execution, data, analytics, risk management and P&L reporting. The engineering problems vary considerably in scale and shape. At one end, we build ultra-low-latency execution technology where small improvements can matter. At the other, we develop global, cross-asset platforms that process large volumes of data reliably and make complex information accessible across the firm. As an intern, you will work with experienced engineers, quantitative developers and researchers on defined technical problems. You will be expected to understand the problem properly, explore different approaches and make sensible engineering choices. Examples of projects you may work on include: - **AI-Powered Static Analysis:** Build a tool combining static analysis and large language models to identify double-deletion and memory-management issues in our public API. - **Exchange Simulator Advanced Order Support:** Extend our Exchange Simulator to support market orders, time-in-force instructions and algorithmic orders, making strategy testing more representative of live trading. - **Data Engineering:** Design and build data solutions behind our strategies, working with traders, researchers and engineers to develop robust, scalable infrastructure for quantitative research. - **Lightweight Trading UI:** Create a lightweight trading interface with order entry, live market and position views, and clear visualisation of trading activity. ### Quantitative Developer — Hong Kong or Singapore Quantitative Developers work at the intersection of research, trading and engineering. Working closely with the trading desk, they collaborate directly with researchers and traders to build the technology needed to explore ideas, analyse markets and run strategies in production. The role combines strong software engineering with an understanding of how technology can make quantitative research and trading more effective. This might involve building high-performance execution systems, improving research infrastructure, developing machine learning platforms or creating tools that make complex data easier to work with. You will work on live technical problems where performance, reliability and iteration speed all matter. The work is collaborative and provides direct exposure to quantitative research, financial markets and production trading systems. Examples of projects you may work on include: - **Real-Time Trading Systems:** Build high-performance C++ systems for real-time trading, contributing to low-latency infrastructure and execution technology where every microsecond can matter. - **Quantitative Research Platforms:** Help develop platforms used for quantitative research across QRT, including machine learning systems and data pipelines that allow researchers to test and scale ideas efficiently. - **Research and Trading Tools:** Design tools that simplify workflows, improve access to data and make complex information easier to understand through effective visualisation. You will work directly with traders, researchers and risk teams to understand their problems and build practical solutions. ## Your Present Skill Set - **Eligibility:** Penultimate- or final-year students pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a STEM discipline, such as Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics or a related Engineering subject, from a leading institution. - **Interest in technology:** You enjoy solving technical problems and understanding how systems work. We are interested in what you have explored and built through personal projects, open-source contributions, hobbies or academic work. - **Software engineering experience:** Hands-on experience writing and working with software, gained through academic or independent projects. - **Programming:** Proficiency in C++, C# or Python. - **Tools:** Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or Bash, and tools and technologies including Git, SQL, GCC and Linux. - **Mindset:** Curious, proactive and comfortable asking questions. You look for ways to understand systems more deeply and improve how they perform. - **Approach:** Self-motivated, thoughtful and comfortable taking ownership of a problem. ## Interview Process - **Application:** Submit your application online. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so applying early is recommended. - **Technical Assessment:** Selected candidates will complete a coding challenge focused on core programming and problem-solving skills. - **Assessment Centre or Online Interviews:** Shortlisted candidates will take part in interviews, either on-site or via Microsoft Teams. Interviews will explore your technical thinking, how you approach unfamiliar problems and how you work with others. _QRT is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome diversity as essential to our success and empower employees to work openly and respectfully towards collective success. In addition to professional achievement, we offer initiatives and programmes to support a healthy work-life balance._ ## Applying to this role This 2027 – Internship or Graduate, Software Engineer and Quantitative Developer role at Qube RT 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.
