About the Web Dev / UI Software Engineer Internship:

Our Core Dev software engineering internship is an intensive 10-week experience at Jump Trading.

During your internship, you will use advanced Javascript, Python, and modern Web frameworks to build Web-based applications that interact with several components of our real-time trading platform.

Our internship program is the primary way we identify top young software engineers for our core development team, and it’s a proven path for earning full-time or return internship opportunities at Jump Trading in Chicago.

The internship begins with the challenge of building a trading platform from the ground up, in collaboration with our other talented interns in both the Chicago and Champaign offices. This includes implementing critical components to manage order traffic to financial exchanges, process enormous streaming data from the exchanges to make it usable for our trading teams, and track our positions in the market for P&L and risk calculations.

In the next phase of the internship, you will take on projects working on production code and gain experience with our full-cycle process for development, testing, and release using Agile methodologies.
