عملية المقابلة

1. 1

   Application

   رسمي

   Apply through the XTX Markets job board (Greenhouse). XTX asks you to submit one application even if several openings interest you, and will reallocate you if appropriate. Internships give insight into the firm but XTX states it does not run a graduate programme and an internship does not necessarily lead to a full-time offer. The previous summer cycle's internships (Summer 2026) were posted in early September 2025 and closed on 21 September 2025; shortlisted candidates heard back in the final week of September.

Topics: research experience, modern and classical machine learning, general mathematics (linear algebra, analysis, probability) and hands-on programming. No finance experience is needed.
