Teza is seeking aspiring quantitative researchers for our 10-12 week summer internship program (June - August 2026) across our London, Munich, and Yerevan offices.
To apply, you will submit a trading idea alongside with your resume (trading idea requirements are visible in application form once you click the apply button).
This serves as your application - it demonstrates how you think about markets, how you approach research, and helps us match you to the right investment group at Teza. You may work on this idea during your internship, or you may work on something entirely different alongside our teams. What matters is the quality of thinking it reveals as well as your passion about quantitative trading.
In late July, all interns convene in Germany for our week-long global investment conference - an intensive forum where our teams worldwide present research, debate markets, and advance our collective understanding of quantitative trading.
What We're Looking ForWe seek applications from either individuals or small teams (up to 4 members) who can formulate and articulate a concrete trading hypothesis. Your application should demonstrate technical capability, market intuition, and intellectual rigor.

Locations: London, Munich, or Yerevan

Present your research to your Mentor and the CIO

Proficiency in Python, Java, or C++
Working knowledge of statistics, linear algebra, and optimization
Rigorous, detail-oriented approach to problem-solving
