Quantitative Strategist Intern
About The Role
If you’ve ever thought, “I want to think like Michael Burry—digging deeper, questioning everything, and finding hidden opportunities others miss,” this might be your moment. We’re looking for a Quantitative Strategist Intern who thrives on challenging conventional market assumptions and doesn’t just analyze data—but uncovers insights others overlook.
In this role, you’ll develop models to inform and optimize investment decisions. The best insights aren’t always obvious—some are buried in unstructured data, financial reports, and economic indicators. If you can extract meaningful signals from complexity, leverage Python to transform raw data into actionable intelligence, and push beyond surface-level analysis, we want to hear from you.
