Write working code for data pipelines, evaluation harnesses and agent and prompt iteration
Analyze investment and market data to test whether a tool improves a research or investment outcome
Translate between investment and engineering audiences, turning an investment workflow into a clear product specification
You’ll Need To Have
Currently pursuing a Bachelors or Advanced Degree in Financial Engineering, Data Science, or a related quantitative field

Solid understanding of data science and engineering principles; comfortable working with data-driven analysis
Strong analytical and communication skills; able to translate between technical, financial, and business stakeholders
Genuine interest in financial products and how data informs product decisions
