Quantitative Researcher - 2027 Summer Internship

At Graviton, every strategy, model and edge begins not with instinct, but with someone asking a better question than everyone else. As a Quantitative Research Intern, you'll spend 10-12 weeks working on research that directly shapes how we understand markets and build trading strategies. You'll collaborate with researchers and technologists to investigate market behaviour, test hypotheses, build predictive models and solve problems where the answers aren't obvious. This isn't an internship where you observe from the sidelines. Outstanding work has the potential to shape production strategies and generate real, measurable returns. Ideal candidates are quantitatively sharp, practically minded problem solvers, programmers, mathematicians and scientists who are excited to solve the hardest problems in our field, across our offices in the US, Singapore, Amsterdam and London. What You'll Work On You'll work on real research problems, not simulated exercises, discovering predictive patterns from billions of market events, designing statistical models, and applying machine learning to open research problems. Your work would include: Discovering predictive patterns from billions of market events Designing statistical models that identify trading opportunities Applying probability, optimization and machine learning to open research problems Building AI-powered research agents that accelerate experimentation Developing infrastructure for rapid, large-scale research Designing experiments and backtests to evaluate hypotheses Translating research into production-ready trading signals Exploring new ML, AI and quant finance techniques to find the next source of alpha What You'll Learn Beyond the technical exposure, you'll learn how experienced researchers approach hard problems: breaking them down, questioning assumptions, and deciding based on evidence rather than intuition. You'll be paired with a mentor, reporting manager and buddy, with regular code reviews and feedback through
