We augment our fundamental investment core with data science to make investments across the capital structure. We are building a proprietary platform that runs the full investment lifecycle, from underwriting to portfolio management. WHAT YOU'LL DO. As an intern, you'll work directly with our quant team on a real piece of that platform. Build the systems a systematic investment platform runs on — from the inside. No prior finance, credit, or trading experience is required — we hire for quantitative and engineering ability and teach the domain. What you might work on (matched to your strengths): - Market or reference data ingestion with point-in-time correctness (no lookahead, as-of-date correct). - Building and validating a candidate factor or risk model on the emerging platform, with an emphasis on robustness and out-of-sample validity. - A piece of the research-to-production path — the tooling that promotes a signal to production by configuration rather than a rewrite. - A component of the backtesting / simulation engine, the feature/signal store, or the portfolio optimizer. ## WE'RE LOOKING FOR: - Currently pursuing an undergrad, master's, or PhD in CS, math, statistics, physics, or a related quantitative field. - Strong programming ability in Python (C++, Rust, or another language is a plus). - Solid fundamentals in statistics and/or ML, and the instinct to be suspicious of results that look too good. - Evidence of building things and going deep — research, open source, competitive programming (ICPC/Codeforces), Kaggle, olympiads, or substantial personal projects. - Nice to have: exposure to markets/investing, data engineering, orchestration tools (Dagster/Prefect), or cloud (Azure). Logistics: 12-week onsite internship — Fall 2026 (September–November); Winter 2026 (December–February); or Summer 2027 (June–August). Open to students graduating December 2026 through Summer 2028; PhD candidates with later graduation dates are also considered. ## ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Compensation: $1800 - $2000 per week depending on level of coursework. Strong interns are our primary source of full-time offers. Location: Onsite, Midtown, New York City Other: Must have US work authorization or ability to use OPT during the time of your internship. ## About Anthelion Capital ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Anthelion Capital is an investment firm that combines fundamental research with a proprietary AI-driven software platform to invest in private credit and broadly syndicated bank loans. - **Entity Type**: Private (backed by institutional investors like sovereign wealth and pension funds) - **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2016 - **Founders**: Vusal Najafov and Ewa Kozicz ## Core Business - Primary industry/industries: Investment Management, Private Credit, Asset Management - Target customers: Institutional investors (pension plans, sovereign wealth funds); portfolio companies seeking flexible capital (middle-market firms) - Mission or purpose statement: "To seek to deliver excess risk-adjusted returns to our investors by augmenting our fundamental investment research team with our software platform and data science team, and to provide flexible capital to companies." ## Products & Services - **Private Credit & Direct Lending**: Provides flexible, creative capital solutions ranging from syndicated bank debt to hybrid financing to control equity investments for middle-market companies. - **CLO Management**: Manages Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLO) vehicles; closed its inaugural CLO, Anthelion CLO 2025-1 Ltd., in July 2025. - **Investment Manager for Alphite Capital**: Acts as the investment manager for a specialty finance company focused on middle market and broadly syndicated bank loans. - **Proprietary AI Platform**: An internal software platform used for credit underwriting, portfolio analytics, and generating insights for portfolio companies.
