What We Offer

Throughout your first year, we will introduce you to our technology environment and the specific technologies you will use at SIG. You will get exposure to different areas of the firm and learn how we use many different technologies. Here are a few of the learning opportunities you will have during your first year:

Technical Classes

We offer a variety of classes to get you up to speed on any technologies that will be needed for success in your role – Networking, How We use C++ at SIG, and Databases are just a few examples.

Rotations

SIG has a very collaborative technical environment. In some roles, you will participate in customized learning opportunities with technical teams outside your own. These learning opportunities will expose you to technologies and teams that will share valuable, important information with you. You may quickly shadow or spend extended periods of time with technical teams throughout our organization, in order to enhance your understanding of our business and your role at SIG.

SIG Knowledge

No matter what team you are on at SIG, getting a “big picture” perspective of technology at SIG is important. Senior technologists provide overviews of their technical teams, the products they have created in house, and how the teams interact and work together to impact the business. You’ll also gain exposure to various trading desks in order to learn more about our industry.

Our summer interns work on challenging projects that will be pushed into production. Interns at SIG get to learn about technology in a complex environment while also gaining real world, hands-on work experience. Our teams use a variety of platforms (Linux and Windows) and programming languages (primarily C++, C#, and Python). We hire sophomores and juniors into many different teams including: Software Development, Infrastructure & Engineering, and Support. Our internship program is typically 10 weeks long and runs over the summer.

Intern Education

The goal of our education program is to familiarize you with our business and how we use technology to solve challenging problems. Our interns have the opportunity to learn how technology drives trading in today’s financial markets, both in the classroom and as a contributing team member. The hands on opportunities that you’ll experience within our environment allow you to put what you’ve learned in the classroom to practice.
