Quant Developer / Quant Research Intern - 2026/2027

About Anthelion Capital

Anthelion Capital is a data-driven investment platform that enhances traditional investment strategies with advanced data science, managing investments across the capital structure. The firm develops a proprietary system that supports the entire investment process, from underwriting to portfolio oversight.

Role Overview

As a quant research intern, you will collaborate closely with the quantitative team on developing essential components of the investment platform. This role does not require previous experience in finance or trading; instead, a strong quantitative and programming capability is valued, with domain knowledge taught on the job.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement market or reference data ingestion systems ensuring point-in-time accuracy without forward-looking bias.
• Design and validate factor or risk models focusing on robustness and out-of-sample performance.
• Develop tools facilitating the transition of research signals into production environments through configuration rather than code rewrites.
• Contribute to modules such as the backtesting/simulation engine, feature and signal storage, or portfolio optimization components.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in undergraduate, master's, or PhD programs in computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics or related quantitative disciplines.
• Proficient programming skills in Python; knowledge of C++, Rust, or other languages is advantageous.
• Strong foundation in statistics and machine learning with a critical approach toward overly optimistic results.
• Proven engagement in building technical projects through research, open-source contributions, competitive programming (e.g., ICPC, Codeforces), Kaggle competitions, olympiads, or significant personal projects.
• Desirable but not mandatory: familiarity with financial markets, data engineering, workflow orchestration tools like Dagster or Prefect, and cloud platforms such as Azure.

Additional Details

• Program Duration: 12-week onsite internship during Fall 2026 (Sept-Nov), Winter 2026 (Dec-Feb), or Summer 2027 (June-Aug).
• Applicants graduating between December 2026 and Summer 2028 are eligible; PhD students with later graduation dates may also apply.
