Quant Research & Strategy Associate Internship

ROLE: Quant Research & Strategy Intern (Private Family Office)
Compensation: $0 (Unpaid / Mentorship Only)
Commitment: 20 hours/week (Remote)
Focus: Multi-Asset Strategy Optimization & Deployment
Length of Term: 3 months (option to extend)
THE MISSION
We are a private family office managing internal capital across multiple asset classes. We seek a passionate future Quant to work alongside an existing cohort to extend the ongoing research, and spearhead new strategy development. You will work directly with the Founder, and existing interns, to refine our live Common Stock strategies and lead the ground-floor development for new strategies to be deployed into the live markets.
THE WORK
Equity Strategy Audit: Review live common stock models to identify performance gaps and mathematical drift. You’ll help modify existing logic to align with current market regimes.
Strategy Development: You will be responsible for the research and foundational modeling of new strategies that you own from thought to execution- building, testing, and iterating on brand-new strategies.
Custom Backtesting & Data: Utilize our proprietary backtesting infrastructure to validate models against slippage, liquidity constraints, and asset-specific fees. Data provided through various paid vendors and in-house sourced workflows to provide you with the tools needed to succeed.
Live Market Deployment: This is not a theoretical exercise. Proven models will be prepared for live deployment into the markets.
High Ownership: You're not getting coffee and running some KYC. Your in the trenches, debugging past research to find where the gaps for alpha are, building your own strategies to prove ideas in public, and co-working with a talented cohort to reach your goals.
WHO YOU ARE
Mathematically Rigorous: You have a deep understanding of expectancy, variance, and R-multiple distributions.
Technical Proficiency: High comfort level with Python or similar data languages. Experience with Claude or Codex, and hold at least the $20/month plan in either.
Market-Agnostic: You understand that an "edge" is a mathematical property that can be translated across Equities, FX, and Crypto.
High Agency: You are capable of taking a high-level thesis and independently building the proof-of-concept without needing a manual.
WHAT YOU GET
Direct Access: You’ll work directly with the Founder on strategy logic and institutional execution architecture.
Ground-Floor Ownership: You aren't maintaining a legacy system; you are helping build from scratch.
Real-World Impact: See your research transition from a backtest to the live tape.
Public Recognition: We routinely publish on our marketing channels about how awesome our interns are, and the work that they're accomplishing. Direct access for you to publish blog articles with your byline for additional optics as you advance in your career.
Compensation & Compliance: This is an unpaid internship with a for-profit company and is structured as an educational experience in compliance with LinkedIn policies and the U.S. Department of Labor guidelines under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The program is designed primarily for the benefit of the intern, does not displace paid employees, and provides structured training and mentorship. There is no expectation of wages or guaranteed employment.
