AI Engineering Internship Location: Remote Duration: Rolling Basis Company: A.M. Dirac, Quantitative Proprietary Trading Firm About A.M. Dirac A.M. Dirac is an early-stage, quantitative proprietary trading firm specializing in applying advanced mathematical models and machine learning techniques to financial markets. We focus on developing high-performance strategies across futures, foreign exchange, and equities markets. Our team of quantitative researchers and traders work in a collaborative and fast-paced environment, leveraging cutting-edge technology to solve some of the most complex problems in quantitative finance. Position Overview We are seeking a highly motivated AI Engineering Intern to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to apply your machine learning expertise to high-dimensional financial and alternative data sets to create novel alphas, improve portfolio optimization, and enhance risk modeling. As an intern, you will work closely with experienced researchers and engineers, contributing to real-world trading strategies and financial models. Key Responsibilities Model Application: Apply existing machine learning models to large-scale financial datasets, including futures, foreign exchange, and equities intraday and tick data. Alpha Generation: Work on developing predictive models for alpha generation using applicable machine learning techniques. Portfolio Optimization: Contribute to development of portfolio construction and optimization models. Risk Modeling: Assist in the development and improvement of risk management models to assess and mitigate risk across multiple asset classes. Data Exploration & Preprocessing: Conduct data analysis and preprocessing on high-dimensional, alternative datasets (such as sentiment analysis, social media, macroeconomic data) to uncover potential market signals. Collaboration: Work alongside a team of quantitative researchers and engineers to iterate and improve machine learning models, ensuring their robustness and real-world applicability. Qualifications Required: Ph.D. Candidate: 3rd year or higher Ph.D. candidate in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Mathematics, Finance, or a related quantitative field. (Exceptions may be made for extraordinary candidates with significant experience or technical skills.) Programming Skills: Strong experience in Python and Jupyter for data analysis, model development, and experimentation. Familiarity with SOTA models in deep learning and LLM a plus.
