Sydney, Australia Sig Susquehanna Full time

JOB DESCRIPTION
Overview

As a Quantitative Research Intern at SIG, you will work on projects that model the work of our full-time employees. You will also go through a comprehensive education program and interact with mentors who are at the top of their field, allowing you to build foundational knowledge in quantitative finance.

What you’ll do

  • Over the 10-week program, you’ll apply probability, statistics and mathematical creativity to several impactful trading projects.
  • Collaborate with researchers, traders, and technologists to help transform our quantitative modeling into trading opportunities and strategies.
  • Join an industry leading training program and be mentored by industry experts on topics including option theory and option modeling in the classroom to help build a foundation for a long-term career
  • Read about Robert’s ‘Day in the life’ as a Quantitative Researcher

What we're looking for

  • Students in the penultimate year of their PhD program studying in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Economics
  • Exceptional mathematical problem-solving skills
  • Solid communication skills, both in the ability to understand others and to make yourself clearly understood
  • Strong, practical computing skills; a specific language proficiency is less important than your ability to get computers to accomplish tasks efficiently and reliably
  • Experience working on in-depth research projects

What’s in it for you

  • Our market leading education program, incorporating classroom theory and simulated learning.
  • Our non-hierarchical culture allows employees of every level to thrive and have an impact. We are not your typical trading firm – the environment is casual, collaborative and we focus on continuous development.
  • Fully stocked kitchen - daily breakfast and lunch.
  • Regular social, sporting, and community events.
  • Visa sponsorship and relocation package where required.
  • Explore our benefits and culture link

Interview Process

Apply -> Online Assessments -> Recruiter Interview -> Technical Interview -> Final Round Interviews -> Offer

By applying to this role, you will be automatically considered for the Quantitative Systematic Trading Internship program. There is no need to apply to both positions to be considered for both.

Equal Opportunity statement

We encourage applications from candidates from all backgrounds, and we welcome requests for reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process to ensure that you can best demonstrate your abilities. If you have any questions, please contact sydneycampus@sig.com.
