We are seeking C++ Development Interns to join our innovative and growing technology team at Akuna. In this role you will work alongside our trading and software team to design and implement elegant solutions to complex and interesting problems. 

What you’ll do as a Development Intern at Akuna:

Development Interns at Akuna have the opportunity to use cutting-edge technology while working on high performance/low latency systems. We offer a team-based approach to trading and software engineering, believing that productive integration of the two groups is vital for success in this industry. Akuna loves Development Interns who are self-starters and have the ability to work without a constant need for guidance. We value innovation and hard work, and want you to make an impact in the firm, even as an intern. Whether you are interested in trading infrastructure, algorithms, models, exchange gateways, performance engineering, hardware, data capture and analysis, or front-end user interfaces, there’s work to be done. If you are excited to jump in and make an immediate difference in a rapidly growing company, Akuna could be the place for you. 

The C++ teams work on applications where C++ is used for computational heavy-lifting and for applications that have timing-critical, low-latency processes such as trading strategies. C++ provides the flexibility and low-level control that our developers need to get maximum performance out of multi-core, super-scalar processors.

What would make you a top-notch candidate?

  • Pursuing a BS/MS/ PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Physics or related field
  • Strong programming skills in C++
  • Demonstrated experience with distributed systems
  • Strong analytic and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to communicate with the trading team, obtain requirements, find solutions and implement them in a clean and concise way
  • Create an easily understood and testable codebase that can change as quickly as market conditions require
  • Passion for innovation and building systems from the ground up
  • Ability to adapt to an ever-changing environment
  • Self-starter attitude with the ability to work independently
  • Must be graduating in Spring 2018 or prior
  • Major GPA of 3.0 or above
