Responsibilities

As a Software Engineering (SE) Intern, you will be challenged to learn and adapt in a dynamic, forward-thinking, and fast-paced environment and will experience life as an engineer on one of our technology teams. Your impact is immediate and meaningful. You will work alongside software engineers designing, solving and testing complex coding problems that will deliver solutions to our trading tools and risk applications. You will build the tools traders and quants rely on to price, trade, and manage risk in real time - and because our release cycles are measured in days, you will watch your code reach production and affect the desk almost immediately. This work draws on a solid foundation in computer science, software development practice, and strong communication and teamwork. You will get exposure to the design and implementation of these systems, which will allow you to build upon your technical skills. As part of the Summer Associate cohort, you will learn and socialize alongside other SE Interns and Quant Trading (QT) Interns.
There are a variety of languages you could get practical experience working with including (but not limited to): Java, C++, and Python. Software development cycles at CTC are short, and releases of proprietary software are frequent. This is a fast-paced and dynamic team environment where our engineers quickly see the results of their effort, and the impact that work has on our businesses.
Additionally, our engineers use AI coding assistants and agentic tooling in their daily workflow, and we are actively building AI into our trading, research, and engineering systems. As an intern, you will work in that environment and be encouraged to use these tools to ship more and ship it faster.
The 8-week internship program gives you insight into our culture and an inward look into what our business is all about. You will participate in three classroom learning experiences including: a week-long Basics of Options class, a multi-week class on the fundamentals of market making (Mock Trading), and a multi-week class that introduces elements of our quant framework (Quant Curriculum). You will also attend planned social activities and talks from various business leaders to propel your professional growth, and build your network with CTC employees and fellow interns. You will:
Deliver a technical project in an impactful role mirroring that of a full-time Software Engineering Associate
Get hands-on experience with our trading technology
Receive mentorship from members of our technology team
Experience a culture with a strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration built through various educational and social activities
What it takes for you to be successful
A foundation in data structures, object-oriented programming and algorithms, and the ability to apply them to real-world problems
An interest in learning about technology, trading, pricing and risk management. No prior knowledge or experience in finance is necessary, but a deep curiosity and a hunger to learn is essential
You are a highly motivated, humble, and collaborative team member
