## Job description

## About EG

Engineers Gate (EG) is a leading investment manager founded in 2014 as a quantitative, computer-driven trading firm. Today, EG operates as a diversified, multi-strategy investment platform that combines systematic research with selective discretionary approaches.

EG's multi-manager platform allows independent investment teams to pursue distinct strategies while benefiting from shared infrastructure, risk management, and operational support. The firm’s collaborative groups of researchers, engineers, and investment professionals deploy sophisticated statistical models, proprietary technology, and a centralized data platform to isolate and solve challenging problem sets in the global financial markets.

## About The Role

We're looking for intellectually curious, driven students at both the undergraduate and graduate level to join one of our investment teams as a Quantitative Research Intern.

This is a hands-on research role where you'll be working directly alongside experienced researchers and engineers, digging into real data, asking meaningful questions, and contributing to work that has a tangible impact on how we invest. Whether you're drawn to statistical modeling, machine learning, or the challenge of finding signal in noisy financial data, this internship is a chance to apply and sharpen your skills in a rigorous, collaborative environment.

## Key Responsibilities

- Clean, validate, and analyze diverse datasets to provide a reliable foundation for global equities alpha research
- Develop alpha factors with economic insights and statistical significance from multi-dimensional data
- Design rigorous backtesting frameworks for performance evaluation and robustness testing
- Assist in designing, testing, and evaluating quantitative models and strategies
- Communicate research findings clearly to team members

## Qualifications

- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. from a top-tier university in a quantitative field (Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Statistics, Finance, Economics, or related)
- Strong programming skills in Python (required); experience with SQL, databases, and Linux environments
- Experience or coursework in quantitative research, data analysis, statistical modeling, or machine learning
- Comfortable working with large datasets and applying statistical or machine learning techniques to financial data
- Strong analytical thinking, creativity, and attention to detail
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Passion for quantitative finance with a high sense of ownership, curiosity, and a growth mindset

The expected salary range for this role is $120,000–$192,000, prorated based on the duration of the internship. Actual compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including the candidate’s skills, qualifications, education, and experience.

Investment teams pursue independent strategies while leveraging shared infrastructure, risk management, and a proprietary data platform.
- **Quantitative Trading & Research**: In-house teams research and execute computer-driven strategies across equities, futures, and other asset classes, covering full trading lifecycles (alpha research, signal generation, portfolio construction, execution, risk management).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company).
- **Key Metric**: **Assets Under Management (AUM)** — approximately **US$4 billion** (as of 2025). The firm also raised an estimated **$300 million in total funding** per LinkedIn (though some sources list this as total capital raised; AUM is the more standard metric).

- **Culture of Collaboration & Rigor**: The firm’s emphasis on open idea exchange, intellectual curiosity, and a “friendly but challenging” environment differentiates it from larger, more bureaucratic asset managers.

- **Technology & Data Leadership**: Investing in proprietary infrastructure to stay ahead of market microstructure changes and emerging data sources.
- **Talent Acquisition**: Aggressively recruiting quantitative researchers, engineers, and portfolio managers to support growth, especially in US, Europe, and Asia.
- **Risk Management & Alignment**: Maintaining a patient, disciplined approach to capital allocation with strong alignment between the firm, its investment teams, and its investors.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Collaborative, intellectually curious, and open — described as “as intellectually rewarding as life in academia and as inventive and dynamic as working at a start-up technology firm.”
- **Work‑Life Balance & Benefits**: “Superb benefits” including fully covered medical, dental, and vision insurance, generous vacation and personal days. The firm also supports social and philanthropic causes.
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Most roles are based in office hubs (NYC, London, Singapore, Hong Kong), though some positions (e.g., U.S.‑based telecommuting roles) allow remote work. The firm explicitly touts flexibility for certain roles.
- **Engineering & Research Environment**: Emphasis on open‑source style sharing of ideas, use of state‑of‑the‑art tools (Python, ML/DL frameworks, large‑scale data pipelines), and exposure to full trading lifecycle.
