SIG Quantitative Trading Internship Program

SIG's Quantitative Trading Internship offers a unique opportunity to learn about quantitative trading. Working from our Sydney office, our interns will experience how our traders use decision science, game theory, and technology to make trading decisions. Our education program combines both classroom and on the 'trading desk' training, which provides interns with a deep exposure to trading, so they can decide if it is what they want to pursue as a career.

Your internship experience includes:

  • Option theory and option modelling lessons in the classroom
  • Decision making - using game theory, decision science, poker, and other strategy games
  • Mock Trading - to practice what you have learnt
  • Real impact - SIG interns work closely with our traders on a real-world project that directly impacts our trading business.

You're excited by a career in trading. You don't need to have studied finance (we'll teach you what you need to know).

• Penultimate Year Student:
