Campus Python Software Engineer (Intern)
Jump TradingAbout the Role
This is an intensive 10-week internship at Jump Trading's Singapore office within the Core Development team. You will work with experienced software engineers on data analytics and high-impact products that connect data better with the daily trading environment. Through mentorship and hands-on development, you'll sharpen your Python skills by researching, analyzing, and building solutions that help the business make sense of data and streamline the trade cycle.
- Work with experienced software engineers with dedicated mentorship throughout the summer
- Use Python programming skills to build high-impact products supporting exciting new initiatives
- Collect and analyze datasets to identify patterns, gain insights, and discover new opportunities
- Take on production code projects and gain experience with full-cycle development, testing, and release processes
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Proficient in Python with hands-on experience building and maintaining production systems
- Comfortable working on Linux — command line, debugging, and bare-metal environments
- Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and system design
- Solid debugging skills and the ability to navigate unfamiliar codebases quickly
- You write clean, production-quality code and take pride in the craft — not just making it work, but making it right
- You're rigorous with data — you dig into large datasets to resolve complex issues, and you don't trust easy conclusions
- You are self-driven and proactive, with a natural instinct to take ownership and push through ambiguity
- You collaborate well across teams — trading, operations, finance, and engineering all depend on what we build
- You thrive in a fast-paced trading environment where priorities shift and projects need to move quickly
- You are genuinely curious about how things work under the hood — systems, markets, data flows — and you go deeper than the surface
- You use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc) to move faster — and you have the judgment to know when to trust the output and when to question it
- Candidates should be interested in working in Singapore for their full-time job after graduation
- Experience with Kafka, or data pipeline tooling
- Background in statistics or data analysis
- Experience with Rust or C++
- Competitive programming background
- No finance or economics experience required — we'll teach you the domain
