Quant Developer – Internship

Are you ready to build a quant career in a team where your work truly makes an impact? As a Quant Developer Intern within the Quant, Efficiency & Data (QED) team at Van Lanschot Kempen, you join a highly motivated and skilled team at the intersection of quantitative finance, financial modelling, and analytics - with real ownership from day one. Our Quant Developer Internship gives you the opportunity to develop your potential to the fullest.

You will work closely with portfolio managers, traders and quants across Treasury, Investment Management, and Risk Management respectively, on problems that are both technically challenging and financially meaningful. The scope of your work and the stakeholders you engage with will vary continuously, giving you broad exposure and plenty of room to keep learning. You will have the opportunity to influence your own scope of work, in order to develop skills in- and outside your comfort zone.

Your responsibilities include:

• Exploring and introducing new programming languages, techniques, and tools within the team
• Contributing to our codebase on a higher level instead of individual projects only (e.g. creating a general infrastructure layer for a newly adopted web application framework)
• Improve the interconnectedness between the quant team and the IT department
• Building data solutions in which you are responsible for every building block; creating the database structure, the frontend for the user and all the intermediate code

You have a strong technical foundation and the drive to apply it in a financial context. You are independent, precise, and not afraid to ask the right questions.

Qualifications:

• You are in the final stage of a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Econometrics, or equivalent
• Excellent programming skills in Python; experience with SQL, Git, or MATLAB is a plus
• Strong numerical and analytical ability
• Good command of English, written and spoken
• Available full-time for a minimum period of 5 months

Investing in a more future-oriented, sustainable, and data-driven way with various clients. Both nationally and internationally. With nearly 300 years of experience, we make this ambition a reality at Van Lanschot Kempen. We do this with some 2.300 colleagues in various fields of expertise.

Our team of quants is part of the Data, Analytics & Quant Solutions department, and located in the dealing room of our Amsterdam office. Besides the quants, the dealing room consists of Equity (Sales) Trading, Equity Research and Treasury.

An organisation's degree of innovation and agility also depends on the diversity of its workforce. Our differences make us stronger together. We promote an inclusive work environment where all colleagues feel h us, you can be yourself. And we are proud of that.
