Job description

The ETF trading group at GTS is looking for Summer 2027 interns to work on a variety of projects in the quantitative trading space, such as: building analytics tools to assist traders making real-time trading decisions, analyzing historical trade data to draw insights and inform our trading strategies, designing and testing quantitative models for new strategy development. Interns will be working directly with senior traders throughout the program and have a strong influence on the direction that their projects will take.
