Who can apply?
- The Quantitative Trader/Researcher Intern – Summer 2027 posting (New York and Chicago) is open to bachelor's, master's and PhD students in computer science, mathematics, physics, electrical engineering or related fields.
- It asks for proficiency in an object-oriented programming language — C++ and Python preferred — and working knowledge of Linux or Unix.
- The posting states no graduation window or GPA.
The weekly range is wide ($3,500 to $5,700); the posting does not say what places you in it, so ask about pay at the offer stage rather than assuming the top.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
Tower's posting combines trading and research, so show both instincts: one example of quantitative judgment, such as a probability puzzle or estimate you solved cleanly, and one example of disciplined programming in C++ or Python.
Linux is named directly. If you have used it only in class, set up a small project on the command line — scripting a data pipeline or building with make — so you can describe real use. This is our suggestion, not Tower's requirement.
