About Anthelion
Anthelion Capital is an investment and data science platform. We augment our fundamental investment core with data science to make investments across the capital structure. We are building a proprietary platform that runs the full investment lifecycle, from underwriting to portfolio management.
What you'll do.
As an intern, you'll work directly with our quant team on a real piece of that platform. Build the systems a systematic investment platform runs on — from the inside. No prior finance, credit, or trading experience is required — we hire for quantitative and engineering ability and teach the domain.
What you might work on (matched to your strengths):
- Market or reference data ingestion with point-in-time correctness (no lookahead, as-of-date correct).
- Building and validating a candidate factor or risk model on the emerging platform, with an emphasis on robustness and out-of-sample validity.
- A piece of the research-to-production path — the tooling that promotes a signal to production by configuration rather than a rewrite.
- A component of the backtesting/simulation engine, the feature/signal store, or the portfolio optimizer.
We're looking for:
- Currently pursuing an undergrad, master's, or PhD in CS, math, statistics, physics, or a related quantitative field.
- Strong programming ability in Python (C++, Rust, or another language is a plus).
- Solid fundamentals in statistics and/or ML, and the instinct to be suspicious of results that look too good.
- Evidence of building things and going deep — research, open source, competitive programming (ICPC/Codeforces), Kaggle, olympiads, or substantial personal projects.
- Nice to have: exposure to markets/investing, data engineering, orchestration tools (Dagster/Prefect), or cloud (Azure).
Logistics:
12-week onsite internship — Fall 2026 (September–November); Winter 2026 (December–February); or Summer 2027 (June–August). Open to students graduating December 2026 through Summer 2028; PhD candidates with later graduation dates are also considered.
Compensation:
$1800 - $2000 per week depending on level of coursework. Strong interns are our primary source of full-time offers.
Location:
Onsite, Midtown, New York City
Other:
Must have US work authorization or ability to use OPT during the time of your internship.

Entry Level Quant Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level quant developer job?
Entry level quant developer roles reward candidates who can demonstrate applied skills, not just coursework. Build a portfolio with projects in stochastic calculus, backtesting frameworks, or risk modeling using Python, C++, or R. Internship experience at a trading desk, hedge fund, or fintech firm is a strong differentiator. Familiarity with libraries like NumPy, pandas, or QuantLib and comfort with statistical inference will give you a clear edge in screening.
Which companies hire entry level quant developers?
Companies hiring entry level quant developers right now include Point72, Man, and Vatic Labs, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At the entry level, hiring tends to come from proprietary trading firms, investment banks, asset managers, and fintech startups that run structured new grad or rotational programs.
Are there remote entry level quant developer jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles are more common at this stage since many firms prefer junior quant developers to work closely with senior teams. About 11% of entry level quant developer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with hybrid arrangements more prevalent than fully remote positions at the new grad level.
Are these new grad quant developer jobs?
Yes, this page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior quant developer roles alongside other entry level listings. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or academic projects as qualifying experience, or explicitly mentions considering candidates with a strong portfolio in lieu of full-time work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level quant developers?
Entry Level quant developer roles concentrate in Investment & Asset Management, Banking & Financial Services, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the entry level because they run quantitative research pipelines, algorithmic trading systems, or risk analytics platforms that require consistent developer headcount across experience levels.
