Our approach to investing is scientific: we bring together data, research, technology and trading expertise to develop and run systematic strategies. \nTechnology is central to how QRT works. Over the years, we have built a global research and execution platform spanning geographies, asset classes and trading horizons, from ultra-low-latency systems to large-scale research, analytics and risk infrastructure. We invest heavily in engineering, automation and scalable systems because better technology allows us to test ideas faster, operate more reliably and tackle harder problems. \nOur internships are designed to give students meaningful experience of that work. You’ll join a team, contribute to real projects and learn from engineers working on production systems. The environment is technical and collaborative, with plenty of scope to ask questions, investigate unfamiliar problems and take ownership. Strong performance during the internship may lead to consideration for a full-time graduate role. \nYour future role at QRT \nThroughout the recruitment process, we’ll consider your skills and interests alongside the problems our teams are working on, with the aim of finding the strongest fit. \nAs part of QRT’s Security team, you’ll help protect the systems, data and infrastructure behind our global research and trading activities. You’ll work closely with our Cloud, Infrastructure and Network Operations teams to design and implement security controls across a complex, high-performance technology environment. \nThe team works across security engineering, detection and response, vulnerability management and security assurance. Rather than treating security as a separate layer, we work directly with engineering teams to understand how systems behave, identify weaknesses and build practical ways to prevent, detect and respond to threats. \nAs an intern, you’ll contribute to real security problems and have opportunities to build tooling, investigate emerging attack techniques and improve how we automate security work at scale. \nYour current skillset \nEligibility - Penultimate or final-year students pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s in a STEM discipline, such as Cyber Security, Informatics, Computing or a related subject, on track for a 2:1 or above. \nInterest in technology - We’re interested in what you’ve explored and built, whether through hobbies, personal projects, academic work or open-source contributions. \nTechnical skills - You don’t need experience with everything below. Examples of relevant knowledge and experience include: \nAn understanding of security principles and technologies such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanning, password management, encryption and secure coding practices. \nProgramming or scripting experience, particularly with Python or Bash. \nConfidence working from the Linux command line, including familiarity with Linux/Unix system administration fundamentals. \nAn understanding of networking concepts, including TCP/IP and Ethernet. \nExperience with monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus and PromQL. \nExamples of the projects you may work on include: \nTriage agent development - Use MCP servers to build and improve a triage agent that supports cyber-security investigations. \nDetection engineering - Reproduce emerging attack techniques in segregated lab environments and test how effectively our detection systems identify them. \nSecurity assurance - Contribute to vulnerability research, security reviews and remediation testing, working with security and engineering teams to understand and address weaknesses. \nSecurity automation - Build tools and automation that make security assurance more scalable, consistent and effective. \nMindset - Curious, proactive and comfortable asking questions. You’re willing to investigate unfamiliar systems, follow evidence and challenge assumptions when something doesn’t look right. \nApproach - Self-motivated, thoughtful and comfortable taking ownership of a problem. \nInterviewing \nApply Online - Submit your application online. We review applications on a rolling basis, so applying early is recommended. \nTechnical Assessment - Selected candidates will complete a technical interview with the relevant team. \n Assessment Centre / Online Interviews - Shortlisted candidates will take part in interviews, either on-site or via Microsoft Teams. We’ll explore your technical thinking, how you approach unfamiliar problems and how you work with others. \nQRT is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome diversity as essential to our success. QRT empowers employees to work openly and respectfully to achieve collective success. In addition to professional achievement, we are offering initiatives and programs to enable employees achieve a healthy work-life balance.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5284,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T07:54:31Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T06:21:15+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.499,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":37,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T20:48:27Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/qube-research-technologies-2027-internship-security-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/qube-research-technologies-2027-internship-security-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T20:48:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31507,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":706156},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=706156"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fqube-research-technologies-2027-internship-security-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fqube-research-technologies-2027-internship-security-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fqube-research-technologies-2027-internship-security-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/qube-research-technologies-2027-internship-security-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fqube-research-technologies-2027-internship-security-engineer-2"}]}
