Trading Operations Analyst Internship: Summer 2025

Susquehanna is a global quantitative trading firm founded by a group of friends who shared a passion for game theory and probabilistic thinking. Sitting at the heart of our Trading floor our Trading Operations team is responsible for the full lifecycle of a trade once it has been made.
