The Student Developer program provides an excellent opportunity for technically skilled students to gain hands-on experience building software and infrastructure used in a global macro hedge fund. Student developers will work closely with engineers, researchers, and traders to design and implement systems that support data processing, research, trading, and risk management.

Participants will gain exposure to modern software engineering practices in a fast-paced financial environment and will have opportunities to contribute to production systems. Student developers will also participate in informal social events and have ample opportunity to learn about financial markets and quantitative trading. Full-time potential exists after graduation.
