About this role
Overview & Responsibilities
Our 10-week summer Internship Program seeks to hire ambitious, enthusiastic candidates who have strong mathematical, quantitative backgrounds and coding skills, with demonstrated passion for markets and an interest to work on all facets of Trading technology.
The Systematic Trading Technology QA team is part of the Brevan Howard Systematic business. We are responsible for applying Quality Assurance methodologies to the Systematic Trading Technology applications to support the delivery of reliable, high-quality products.
During the program, interns will contribute to the Systematic Trading Technology QA team’s efforts to ensure the reliability and performance of our trading systems. Intern responsibilities may include writing and executing test cases, analyzing logs and system behavior, assisting with automation development, and participating in performance and regression testing. Interns will gain exposure to the full software development lifecycle, from feature validation to deployment and production verification, while working closely with engineers and business stakeholders in a fast paced, collaborative environment.
Additionally, interns will benefit from key talks, a mentor program, social events and interactions with some of the most respected and talented individuals in their field.
This internship is devised to provide candidates with an invaluable education on the workings of a macro hedge fund and the regulatory environment through a two-way process to determine if Brevan Howard and the intern are a compatible fit.
