§ How To Join

Build your career at the intersection of AI, engineering and markets.

Northridge is a place where exceptional people come together to solve complex problems, push technological boundaries, and shape the future of quantitative finance.

§ 01 — Career Development

Learn from the system — and from the people who built it.

At Northridge, career development is not a program — it's the consequence of working alongside senior engineers, researchers and market practitioners on real problems with real capital. You ship work that matters from week one, with mentorship from people who have seen the full lifecycle of systematic trading.

An initial call to understand your background, motivation, and ambitions.

02

Deep-dive on your area of expertise — research, engineering, or markets.

§ 04 — Internships

Real work, real capital, real models.

Our internships are designed for exceptional students in computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, and engineering. You'll work alongside our research and engineering teams on production problems — not toy projects.

We recruit interns year-round. Many of our full-time hires begin as interns.
