Jump Trading Group is committed to world class research. We empower exceptional talents in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science to seek scientific boundaries, push through them, and apply cutting edge research to global financial markets. Our culture is unique. Constant innovation requires fearlessness, creativity, intellectual honesty, and a relentless competitive streak. We believe in winning together and unlocking unique individual talent by incentivizing collaboration and mutual respect. At Jump, research outcomes drive more than superior risk adjusted returns. We design, develop, and deploy technologies that change our world, fund start-ups across industries, and partner with leading global research organizations and universities to solve problems.

Our trading teams are each comprised of a dynamic group of traders, quantitative researchers, and engineers who work together to examine the global markets, seeking to understand the complexities of various traded products and exchanges. They leverage their impeccable statistical analysis and data mining skills, using the results of their research to make forecasts and develop profitable predictive trading models.

About the Role:

We build predictive models from big data and develop algorithms to automatically execute trades in dozens of financial exchanges around the world.

At Jump you will have the opportunity to contribute in a blend of three roles – quant researcher / data scientist, trader, and software developer – based on your incoming skills and background, interest and curiosity, and the new skills and industry knowledge that you will learn at Jump.

Our 10-week internship program begins with a training program focused on enhancing your knowledge of trading, programming, and quant research. The training consists of in-house courses and trading simulation developed and delivered by experienced quant researchers, traders, and developers. We have experts from around the firm who will teach you advanced skills in a variety of areas such as machine learning, trading / market mechanics, statistics, Python, C++, and our research process.

You will later be coached to successfully apply those skills during rotations with trading teams and research projects with mentorship from experienced quants/traders. You will help build predictive models, leveraging one of the largest supercomputers in the world, and devise automated trading strategies to test in the markets against world-class competition. Other duties as assigned or needed.

Who Should Apply?
