About Us
MarketAxess is on a journey to digitally transform one of the world’s largest financial markets, enabling the shift from analog, phone-based trading to a fully electronic marketplace. Why does this matter? Because our platform makes trading fixed-income more accessible, ultimately improving transparency, efficiency, and competition in the marketplace. Changing the way an established industry transacts is no easy feat. There will be twists and turns, because no one’s ever done this before. But now, more than 2,000 clients around the world rely on our solutions, and that number is only expected to grow in the years ahead. We know where we’re going. How we get there is up to us. Join us and help Take Us There.
The Role
As a Quant Research Intern, you will develop data solutions that power both our trading and data businesses, leveraging MarketAxess' proprietary platform data. You will help build out our suite of products including analytics, our award-winning CP+ pricing, and other AI-driven solutions that address key trading decisions: What, How and When to trade, as well as Who to trade with. Join us in shaping the future of fixed income trading through innovation and data-driven insights. Will you Take Us There?

What We're Looking for
- Currently enrolled in a full-time bachelor’s or master’s degree program in a quantitative field (science, engineering, mathematics, or statistics is preferred) from an accredited college or university. This internship is intended for students with 2-3 semesters to complete until their degree is conferred.

- Superb interpersonal skills.
- Highly analytical, flexible and creative problem solver.

Collaboration and innovation are integral to our success – it's how we got to where we are and how we’ll maintain and grow our competitive advantage. We believe this best happens in an office environment. Employees in Quant Research work in the office 3 or more days a week. This approach still allows for flexibility depending on the business function you work within but also helps us maintain a collaborative office environment long-term.
