Job Description:
About the Programme:
The quantitative trading teams across FIC cover Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit trading.
These teams are responsible for the bank's electronic liquidity provision to clients, covering the development and optimisation of automated pricing and hedging systems, as well as their day to day running.
You will have the opportunity to use statistical and machine learning knowledge to create and optimise algorithms designed to interact directly with clients and exchanges to generate trading revenues for the bank.
Each of the desks have slightly different focuses, but the core of what we do is:
- Using statistical inference at high frequency to determine our view of how the market will evolve (alpha).
- Leveraging bespoke modelling, transform these predictions and internal information into competitive prices aimed at winning flow from clients or efficiently hedging positions.
- Developing tools to better monitor our automated platforms.
About the Role:
Our interns learn about our business through on the job experience, you will gain a significant understanding of the work we do, our team culture, and will develop your quantitative skills through real life application.
Our desks have a strong history of running research projects (both as a general internship opportunity, but also as a co-supervised thesis project) where for several months you will have the opportunity to take a deep dive into a particular topic with expert supervision.
Many of these projects have gone on to become part of our live trading systems!
Examples of recent projects include:
- Deep learning models for high frequency price prediction.
- Marginalised particle filtering for online market data filtering.
- Live market share prediction with Kalman filtering.
What We Look For:
You must be studying a post-graduate specialist degree (MSc or PhD) in a quantitative subject such as mathematics, engineering, physics, economics or finance.
You will already have a record of outstanding academic achievement and you’re eager to continue learning at the same intensive rate. You’ll thrive on working in a highly collaborative environment with some of the best minds in banking.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Modelling/Statistical Interest -- a strong background or interest in statistics, probability, and modern machine learning methods.
- Programming Knowledge -- experience with a general-purpose scientific computing language (python, R, MATLAB). Some experience with a low-level language such as C/C++ can be helpful in some roles as well but is by no means necessary.
- Collaborative working -- we always have a long list of interesting problems to solve, and each person on our team will bring a different approach to solving them. Working together leads to better outcomes for us, and faster development for you!
- Desire to be at the "cutting edge" of trading in the bank -- as front office teams, these desks are focused on maintaining and developing high performance trading systems. Your actions will have a direct impact on the trading activity of the bank, so work is a mixture of longer form research projects and tactical responses to market changes.
Please note that to progress onto the final stage assessment, applicants will need to attend an in-person technical test on a specified date and location which is not flexible. More details will be shared to the successful shortlisted candidates.
