Full Job Description
About the Position

During the program, you'll work on projects mentored closely by the full-time employees who designed them. Some projects consider big-picture questions that we're still trying to figure out, while others involve building something new. You will get access to our growing GPU cluster containing thousands of H100/H200/B200s and gain an understanding of the differences between textbook machine learning and its application to noisy financial data.

The interview process follows the same structure as our Software Engineering Intern interviews, with one key addition: after your initial technical coding interview over Zoom, you'll have an on-site interview with 2-4 technical rounds, including one dedicated to assessing ML engineering skills.

About You

If you've never thought about a career in finance, you're in good company. Many of us were in the same position before working here. If you have a curious mind, a collaborative spirit, and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have a feeling you'll fit right in. We don't expect you to have a background in finance-we're more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know. You should be:
  • An undergraduate or PhD student with practical experience training an ML model, working on an ML library, or optimizing an ML workflow
  • A top-notch programmer with a love for technology
  • Intellectually curious, collaborative, and eager to learn
  • Humble and unafraid to ask questions and admit mistakes
