Internships

We take a small number of interns each year. You sit with the principals, work on live systems, and ship real research. No syllabus, no rotations. We don't look at CVs. You have to show us something.

What we look for

  • Quant, maths, stats, or CS background
  • Strong Python. Comfortable with data pipelines, ML, or financial modelling
  • You build things that actually work, not just notebooks that demo well
  • Happy figuring things out with minimal hand-holding

What you get

  • You work directly with partners who've been doing this 20+ years
  • Real platform work: signals, data engineering, model validation, fund construction
  • Full lifecycle: hypothesis to backtest to live deployment
  • Strong interns come back or join the partnership

How to apply

Send us a project, not a CV. We want to see how you think. Pick one:

  1. A research idea: write up a signal or anomaly you'd investigate. Why might it work? How would you test it?
  2. A code project: something you built. A pipeline, a backtester, a model, a tool. Walk us through your decisions.
  3. A hard problem you solved: something non-trivial you figured out. Academic, personal, professional, doesn't matter.

Convince us. Send your project and a short note on why systematic research interests you.
