You'll rotate across portfolio manager and strategy teams to find where AI can change how they research, decide and trade, and then build it. Each rotation ends with a working AI-based workflow or trading tool that the team actually uses. Alongside the rotations, you'll work with our AI infrastructure team to shape the core platform: data, memory, architecture, intelligence and interface. The internship runs for 10 weeks over summer 2027.\nWhat You’ll Do\nEmbed with PM and strategy teams on rotation. Learn their process, find the bottlenecks, and ship AI agents and workflows that remove them.\nBuild AI-assisted research and trading tools, from data ingestion and signal research through to the tools PMs rely on everyday.\nConvert what you learn on the desks back into our shared AI platform: data pipelines, agent memory, architecture, model and agent intelligence, and interfaces (Slack, dashboards, CLI)\nMeasure whether what you build gets used and adds value and keep improving it based on feedback.\nPresent your work to PMs and the AI committee and defend your design choices.\nWhat You’ll Bring\nPursuing a degree in computer science, engineering or another quantitative field.\nStrong Python and SQL skills, and comfort working with APIs, data pipelines and production-quality code.\nHands-on experience building with LLMs: agents, tool use, retrieval/memory, evals. A portfolio or GitHub of things you've shipped is a big plus.\nGenuine curiosity about markets and how investment teams work. Prior finance knowledge is not required, but you should want to learn it fast.\nA builder's mindset: you can take an open-ended problem from a non-technical user to a working tool, and you're skeptical of your own results.\nA clear communicator who can explain technical trade-offs to PMs and engineers alike, with strong ownership.\nOur Internship\nKick-start your career in finance with the Schonfeld Summer Internship! Over the course of 10 action-packed weeks, you will have the opportunity to build solutions that tackle real-world challenges and leave a lasting impact on the firm. As an intern, you’ll join a close-knit team that is ready to support your growth and accelerate your career. We will pair you with a dedicated manager and a mentor who’ll guide your development over the course of the internship and beyond. Throughout the program, you will have the chance to connect with senior leaders through a series of learning sessions, attend hands-on skills workshops, network at social events and get a behind-the-scenes look at how various functions power the firm. We’ll empower you to bring your ideas to life and make an impact.\nWho We Are\nSchonfeld is a global multi-manager hedge fund that strives to deliver industry-leading risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
