Internship
Posted 3d ago
~40 hrs/week
Responsibilities
You will work within AI-focused teams to develop services, models, and data assets that integrate generative AI into investment and operations workflows. Responsibilities include owning end-to-end projects such as building LLM pipelines, improving RAG engines, and writing production code.
Requirements
Candidates must demonstrate strong coding ability, preferably in Python, and have a solid foundation in machine learning and AI through coursework or personal projects. A curiosity about financial markets is required, though prior finance experience is not necessary.
Full job description
Join our AI Development teams in London for a 6-month placement where you'll work directly on projects that support Finance, Operations, Risk, Trading and Portfolio Management. This isn't a shadowing programme - you'll be writing production code, shipping features and owning deliverables from day one.
You'll leave with real engineering experience across a range of technologies, a working knowledge of financial markets, and a strong foundation for a career in tech.
About the programme
Over six months, you'll sharpen your skills in AI, software engineering and programming while building a practical understanding of how a systematic hedge fund operates.
You'll join one of our AI-focused teams, which build the services, models and data assets that bring generative AI into Marshall Wace's investment and operations workflows. The goal is straightforward: make it possible for every engineer in the firm to use AI/ML effectively, without needing to be a specialist. Our team holds that specialist knowledge - and during your placement, you'll develop it too.
Day to day, you could be adding features to our AI platform, developing backend services, building LLM pipelines or improving our RAG engine. You'll own specific projects end to end - from design through development, implementation and review - not just contribute to someone else's. For those with a strong interest and aptitude in machine learning, there will also be the opportunity to design and train models for use cases across the firm.
Candidate profile:
Strong coding ability, ideally in Python
Demonstrated interest or coursework in Machine Learning and AI (through personal projects & research)
Curiosity about financial markets (no prior finance experience required)
Please note:
We're looking for candidates who've already covered AI/ML topics in their studies and can demonstrate genuine technical depth in this area. Prior project work or coursework in machine learning will be an advantage, particularly personal projects showing your interest.
