About

Susquehanna is looking for penultimate year students who are interested in using decision science to solve problems in the world around them to join our 2025 Quantitative Trader Internship Program.

 

Susquehanna’s Trading Internship offers a unique opportunity to learn about quantitative trading. Working from our Sydney office, our interns will experience how our traders use decision science, game theory, and technology to make trading decisions. Our education program combines both classroom and on the ‘trading desk’ training. The goal of the program is to provide interns with a deep exposure to trading, so they can decide if it is what they want to pursue full-time.
