At the conclusion of 10 weeks, you will have the opportunity to present your results to senior leadership at DRW.

Advanced quantitative, analytical and problem-solving skills and the ability to deploy those skills under time-sensitive situations

A passion for the financial markets and a deep curiosity to explore new methodologies
Strong communication skills to advocate your ideas in a clear and concise manner to the group
What to expect during the internship
Meaningful projects: Each project, advised by a trader, promotes a comprehensive learning experience and provides you with real-world work experience.
Community: Throughout the summer, we host a variety of educational, social and team-building activities to explore the city, foster friendships and camaraderie.
Housing: DRW provides fully furnished apartments located close to the office – making your morning commute as easy as possible.
Mentorship: You’ll build a professional relationship with an experienced mentor in your field. Mentors and mentees meet to discuss goals, challenges and professional development and explore the city together at our mentor outings.
Education: As the trading industry continually evolves, both in terms of new products and transaction methods, the future will present us with unique opportunities and challenges. You’ll complete an options course taught by an experienced trader and participate in a technology immersion course to better understand how technology and trading intersect.
DRW is a diversified trading firm with over 3 decades of experience bringing sophisticated technology and exceptional people together to operate in markets around the world. We value autonomy and the ability to quickly pivot to capture opportunities, so we operate using our own capital and trading at our own risk.
