Intern - Systems Engineer
Summary
As an intern on Quadeye's Latency Systems Team, you'll optimize real-time trading systems that execute at nanosecond-level latency, working at the intersection of OS internals, networking, hardware architecture, and high-performance C/C++ software design, with mentorship and a clear path to full-time conversion at a top algorithmic trading firm.
About Quadeye
Quadeye is an algorithmic trading firm operating across major global financial markets and exchanges. We combine quantitative research, advanced mathematical modeling, and high-performance technology to develop sophisticated automated trading strategies across diverse asset classes.
Our teams work at the intersection of markets, mathematics, statistics, and technology, with significant ownership across the entire strategy lifecycle—from research and ideation to implementation, deployment, and optimization.
We offer a highly meritocratic environment where talented researchers and engineers have the opportunity to work on challenging problems, access world-class infrastructure, and see the direct impact of their work on live trading performance.
The Role
We are looking for a Systems Engineering Intern to join our Latency Systems team and work on the high-performance technology that powers our trading operations.
You will work at the intersection of operating systems, networking, CPU architecture, and high-performance software, contributing to real-time systems engineered for nanosecond-level latency. You will learn how to identify performance bottlenecks, optimize critical execution paths, and build reliable systems where every CPU cycle matters.
You will work closely with systems engineers, quantitative researchers, traders, and infrastructure teams while contributing across the systems engineering lifecycle:
Design → Development → Performance Engineering → Testing → Deployment → Optimization
