Machine Learning Research Engineer Internship - 2027 [New York]

New York

Quantbot Technologies is a leading global quantitative investment firm deploying systematic strategies across asset classes. At the heart of our approach is large-scale research powered by advanced computing infrastructure and petabytes of comprehensive market and historical data. We combine rigorous scientific methods with modern statistical and machine learning techniques to discover, test, and implement novel investment ideas.

As a Machine Learning Research Engineering Intern, you will gain hands-on experience in designing and evaluating machine learning systems that support quantitative research. You will work alongside experienced researchers and engineers, learning how to build scalable pipelines, process large datasets, and apply state-of-the-art ML methods to real-world problems in systematic investing. This internship is designed to give you exposure to both practical engineering challenges and research-driven exploration in machine learning for quantitative finance.

Who Should Apply

  • Ideal candidates are students currently pursuing an advanced degree, who are curious, creative, and eager to learn. We are looking for people who enjoy tackling challenging problems at the intersection of software and machine learning. No prior finance experience is required, though an interest in quantitative finance is a plus.
  • You should be comfortable coding in at least one major language such as Python, Rust, or C/C++, and familiar with modern ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX. We are looking for candidates with strong engineering skills who can write clean, efficient code and work hands-on with model development and deployment while contributing effectively to the team.
  • We prioritize curiosity, talent, and impact over simply checking boxes. You will thrive in this internship if you can balance independent work with collaboration, communicate clearly, manage your time effectively, and are open to learning from mentors and peers.
  • Bonus points for candidates who stay current with advances in AI/ML, have experience in optimizing algorithms for specialized hardware, or have contributed to open-source projects.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
