Overview As a Quantitative Systematic Trading Intern at Susquehanna, 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. You will have the opportunity to build alphas on an actual trading strategy.

What We're Looking For

  • Masters (in penultimate or final year) in quantitative fields such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Economics

  • Analytical problem-solvers with excellent logical reasoning and a passion for turning data into decisions

  • Clear communicators in a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment

  • Strategic thinkers with demonstrated interests in strategic games and/or competitive activities
