Overview

This internship will take place in Dublin for 10 weeks in Summer 2026, but you will be considered for a 2027 graduate role in our London office. If you have already applied for the Dublin internship, you do not need to reapply.

Susquehanna's 10-week quantitative trading internship offers a rare insight into working at one of the world's leading quantitative trading firms. Designed for intellectually curious and driven individuals with strong quantitative skillsets, our internship combines rigorous classroom-based education with real-world trading experience.

Run by a team of dedicated senior traders, our education programme is widely recognised as being the best in the industry. Our classroom-based education covers topics such as ETF and options trading, game theory, and programming. Don't worry if you don't have a finance background - we will teach you everything you need to succeed.

A core strength of our internship is that we combine classroom-based education with hands-on project work and trading simulations. Working alongside a dedicated mentor, you will have the opportunity to work on a real-world trading problem, whic h has the potential to impact our trading strategies, improve tools, or uncover new market insights.

Join us this summer to see why so many interns decide to return for a full-time career in quantitative trading.
