Quantitative Analyst Summer Internship 2025

Description

Quantbot Technologies Ltd is seeking a dedicated and motivated intern to join us this summer for an exciting opportunity at our central London office. We are a registered investment adviser managing a multi-billion dollar global portfolio specializing in quantitative techniques. By leveraging statistical arbitrage themes, we develop fully automated investment strategies to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns over a multi-year period.  

As a quant firm, we inhabit the exciting confluence of technology and finance. We maintain and support over a petabyte of market, historical and derived data for use in our research and trading, and our regional operation teams monitor and help strategists implement their strategies on a global scale. Throughout the internship, you will be working directly with the London or New York team to process and evaluate new datasets, and directly participate in the development of new tools and infrastructure at Quantbot. As part of our global footprint, there will also be constant collaboration with our other regional offices in New York and Hong Kong.

We are looking for a recent graduate (or final year undergrad) excited to use their coding skills in a real-world setting, who can multitask on different projects and is willing to learn about finance on-the-job. We provide training at the beginning and continuous support throughout the entire internship, including a dedicated mentor for one-on-one assistance and encouragement. As you familiarize yourself with your tasks, you will have the chance to take on more responsibility and directly contribute to the continued success of Quantbot. Upon completion of the internship, if you perform well then there is the possibility of full-time employment at the end of the internship.

Along with working out of our spacious London office in the Square Mile, you will be joining us on company outings and our traditional Friday lunch. Our office has a relaxed, dress-down atmosphere that encourages input and growth, and our commitment to a healthy work-life balance means your personal commitments are just as important to us as your professional ones.
