Susquehanna Quantitative Trading Internship Program

Susquehanna’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 - Susquehanna interns work closely with our traders on a real-world project that directly impacts our trading business.

• Communicators: You enjoy building relationships with those you work closely with, and you enjoy sharing ideas, expressing your thoughts, and listening to the views of others.

• Penultimate Year Student: Confirmed plan to graduate by December 2025 with a degree in any

discipline (most typically STEM), Distinction average WAM, from an Australian or New Zealand University
