Based at our headquarters in central London, our 12- or 24-week internships offer two engineering streams to suit different technical interests and experience.
Engineering internships
Explore our 12- or 24-week software engineering and FPGA engineering internships in central London.Engineering is fundamental to how G-Research works. Our engineers build the platforms, infrastructure and tools that enable researchers to test ideas at scale and tackle some of the most complex problems in quantitative finance.
From the outset, our interns gain first-hand experience of working within a complex engineering environment. With regular support and feedback from experienced colleagues, they have opportunities to develop their skills and deepen their understanding of engineering at scale.
Register your interest for our 2027 engineering internships and we’ll let you know when applications open.
Our engineering internships
Software engineering
Contribute to the systems and platforms that support our quantitative research. You'll gain experience of complex, high-performance technology while helping develop, improve and modernise the systems our teams rely on.
FPGA engineering
Apply your digital design skills to ultra-low-latency hardware and infrastructure that support our work. You'll work alongside experienced specialists on technical challenges where performance and precision matter.
Key information:
Our 24-week internships typically run from spring through to summer, while our 12-week internships take place over the summer.
Applications for our 2027 engineering internships will open soon. Register your interest and we’ll let you know when applications go live.
Location: 1 Soho Place, W1D 3BG
If you’re curious, analytical and enjoy solving complex technical problems, we’d like to hear from you.
You should be graduating in 2028, studying Computer Science or a related discipline with a 2:1 or above, and have experience in an object-oriented programming language such as C#, Java or C++.
Projects vary between teams, but engineering interns have worked on areas including:
- High-performance and distributed systems
- Research platforms and tooling
- Compute infrastructure
- OpenStack and cloud technologies
- Automation and developer tooling
- Low-latency systems and FPGA development
Our recruitment process is designed to understand how you approach technical problems as well as your existing knowledge.
Stage 1: Online application
Choose the engineering internship that best matches your skills and interests and submit your application.
Stage 2: Online assessment
Complete a HackerRank assessment designed to test your technical knowledge, programming skills and approach to problem-solving.
Stage 3: Technical screening call
Meet with two of our engineers for an online technical discussion, where you’ll explore your knowledge and approach to engineering problems in more depth.
Stage 4: Onsite assessment centre
Join us at our London office for a series of technical and team-based assessments, including system design questions and collaborative exercises.
Stage 5: Senior manager interview
Meet with a senior engineering manager to discuss your experience, motivations and approach, while learning more about engineering at G-Research.
Stage 6: Outcome
We’ll let you know the outcome of your application and, if successful, share everything you need ahead of joining the programme.
What our people say
"Work culture is an important aspect for me, so when I was contacted by G-Research I discovered a company where I could grow as a developer, whilst feeling like the company valued me as a person, not just a code monkey."
"What I appreciate most about working in G-Research is the supportive and knowledgeable environment. Everyone is incredibly helpful and patient, which ensures there’s a good balance between being challenged and your workload."
"My favourite part of working at G-Research is the people, from my colleagues to our customers. The culture is great and encourages collaboration, which makes it easier for everyone to work together."
"Before G-Research I’d completed internships at a few companies whilst studying Computer Science at the University of York. Since joining, I’ve progressed from an intern to a graduate to an engineer, having worked on systems and technology core to the business my entire time."
"My favourite thing about working here is the people. G-Research strives to hire not only the brightest minds, but good people, which in turn creates a brilliant collegiate and social atmosphere at the company."
