Hudson River Trading (HRT) is seeking highly motivated full-time students to join our Data Science Summer Internship Program. Data is a cornerstone of HRT’s trading strategies, serving as the raw fuel that powers research, automated trading, and risk management. While Algorithm Developers focus on statistical modeling and Software Engineers focus on the systems that power our trading, HRT Data Scientists focus on extracting useful information from the vast volume of data available in the world. Data Scientists are responsible for normalizing and validating vendor data, extracting features from quantitative and textual data, applying rigorous quality checks, and investigating methodologies for providing the highest quality data for research and trading.

A hands-on introduction to data, modeling, and engineering practices in the algorithmic trading industry
Independent data investigation projects in Python using open-source libraries such as pandas and polars
Opportunities to learn all about HRT's research and trading infrastructure, even in areas you may not be working in directly
Technical project work and mentorship, with the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of global financial markets
Plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow interns, participate in team events, and explore the unique culture, food, and experiences that make each HRT office location and cities special

Exceptional attention to detail
Strong communication skills
Weekly base salary of 4,350 GBP in addition to company-paid housing, meals, and other perks.
