How technology recruiting runs in finance
Trading firms and funds hire software engineers into the same early cycle as their traders: internships for the following summer open from July, and insight programmes for first years from late August. Banks run technology programmes on their own cycle, mostly from September.
Expect a coding test early, then technical interviews on data structures, algorithms and, at trading firms, low-latency systems in C++ or similar. Some firms also hire for FPGA and hardware roles.
Physical engineering roles at the same firms, such as mechanical or electrical engineering, are not listed: this list is quant, finance and technology.
Questions
When do software engineering internships at trading firms open?
Often in July and August for the following summer, earlier than banks. Banks' technology programmes open mostly from September.
What languages do these firms use?
C++ and Python most often, with Java, OCaml and others at particular firms. Each role's page names what it uses.
Do I need a computer science degree?
No, but you will be tested on programming and problem solving. Each role's page states its own requirements.
Where this list comes from
Each firm's own careers site, read politely and under our own name every one to fifteen minutes, depending on the site. We show the title, the firm, the place and the dates, and link to the firm for everything else. Not every firm can be read like this, so check the firms you care most about yourself as well. More on how this works.
Start whenever
An hour to get on with it, fifteen free minutes if you would rather talk first, or a message if you would rather write.
