Quant Research Intern -- Summer 2022

IMC trades a wide range of financial instruments, in many different ways. This means we look for different types of traders; from the quantitative minds who enjoy the mathematical side of trading to more operationally focused personalities who thrive on interacting with brokers over the phone.

Our traders share one thing in common, though: they are at their best when solving complex problems. Their insights into global events, market shifts and pricing ensure we always trade in the right place, at the right time.

If so, then join IMC as a Quant Research Intern! Why? Because here your decisions have direct impact on the company’s trading profits and IMC is a place where creativity, teamwork and innovation are recognized and rewarded. Quants actively build and enhance the quality of our electronic trading strategies, requiring superior analytical, mathematical, and computing skills.  As a quant, you will have the freedom to find your niche within the firm and excel. 

As a Quant Research Intern you will work alongside a dedicated mentor to build custom analysis tools and explore new research ideas. The internship program is focused on enhancing your knowledge of options theory, market making, algorithm complexity and trades analysis. Your responsibility does not stop at pure knowledge acquisition; you’ll also have the opportunity to implement new models and launch them into production.

As an Intern within IMC you will be supported by both a Mentor and an intern lead who will oversee your projects and professional development. You will have access to classroom theory sessions, mock trading, desk rotations, simulated trading and incredible social activities and events.

Our hiring process, including tips on applying and interviewing with IMC, is described on our website. Now it’s up to you! Apply today to start your journey with IMC.
