A craft used to be learned beside someone who already did the work. Quantitative research is a craft. A diploma does not substitute for it.
We are hiring exceptional people out of high school, undergraduate, and postgraduate programs into the guild.
Quant Guild
You will do quantitative research with the guild: questions, code, and write-ups that have to survive an argument. This is paid work, not a course and not a recruiting exercise.
College credentialed people. Guilds trained them. For most of history you learned a craft by doing it next to someone who had already been wrong in public.
Feedback is specific. The standard is the work in front of us, not a syllabus four years removed from a market.
A transcript says where you sat. A repository, a paper, a competition, or a trading journal says how you think.
We will take a high school student who has already built something over an applicant who has never shipped a result.
Unpaid
Paid · $1,000–$10,000/mo
Paid · $100,000–$350,000/yr + bonus
The internship is open to exceptional talent at three stages. The pay range is the same shape for all three. Where you land in it depends on the work you can already do.
You are already building. You can point at something — code, a write-up, a competition — and explain the choices you made.
Coursework is not the point. We read what you have made outside of it, and we will pay you to make more of it here.
Mathematics, statistics, computer science, or markets. You can turn that depth into research someone else can rerun and argue with.
Driven by endless curiosity and a need to understand why.
Markets, risk, and systematic strategies. You will pick a question that can be answered, not a topic that can be admired.
If it cannot be rerun, it is not a result. You will leave the work in a state another person can pick up.
Read the paper. Rebuild the result. Only then decide what is actually new.
A finding that cannot be explained cannot be used. You will present the work, and the work will be argued with.
