About AXQ Capital

AXQ Capital is a global quantitative investment firm. We build diverse sources of investment edge across geographies, asset classes, and trading horizons. Our strategies are grounded in rigorous scientific research and deep market understanding, strengthened by sustained investment in data, technology, and AI. Our team brings together exceptional talent from leading academic institutions and the world’s most respected quantitative firms. We foster a collaborative culture built on curiosity, rigor, and ownership, where the best ideas win and people grow with the firm.

Job Duties

We are growing quickly, and our interns are a core part of how we hire: you will work directly with senior researchers on research that is meant to trade, and strong performers receive full-time offers.

Markets are noisy, competitive, and constantly evolving — finding a durable edge is one of the hardest problems in applied research. As a Quantitative Research Intern, you will take on that challenge directly. Over the course of your internship, you will work on one or two projects in areas such as:

Developing and refining quantitative trading strategies under the guidance of experienced researchers
Applying tools from probability, statistics, and machine learning to uncover patterns and predictive signals in market data
Leveraging agentic AI workflows to accelerate the research cycle — from hypothesis generation to automated backtesting and analysis
Transforming raw, messy datasets into research-ready inputs that power alpha discovery
Exploring portfolio construction and optimization techniques that combine individual strategies into robust, risk-managed portfolios
