Trading Operations Intern

Singapore HashKey Capital

The role

You will support the day-to-day operations of a live quantitative trading desk. This is not a shadowing internship. From week one you will own a defined set of daily checks, and by month three you should be running them independently and have automated at least one of them.

What You Will Do

Daily desk operations: run morning balance and inventory checks across exchanges and chains; flag breaks and escalate early
Reconciliation: compare exchange and on-chain balances against our internal ledger; investigate and document differences
Venue and account admin: help maintain our exchange account records, API key inventory, fee-tier status and counterparty onboarding checklists
Reporting: prepare inputs for daily and weekly desk reports to management
Automation: turn at least one recurring manual check into a script or dashboard using Python/SQL and our internal data tools
Ad hoc: support traders and engineers on operational questions as they come up

What You Will Learn

How a quantitative trading desk actually runs: inventory, funding, fees, venue relationships
Operational controls at a firm where an unexplained break is treated as a real problem, not a rounding error
How to build operational tooling with an AI-native team

Who We Are Looking For

Able to commit at least 3 days per week for a minimum of 6 months, with a consistent weekly schedule.
Penultimate or final-year undergraduate, master's student, or recent graduate in finance, economics, engineering, computer science, mathematics or a related field
Strong numeracy and attention to detail: you notice when a number doesn't tie out
Genuine interest in crypto market structure and quantitative trading; you should be able to explain what a market maker does
Exposure to AI-enabled tools, workflow automation, data dashboards, SQL/Python, or on-chain data platforms is an asset
Exposure to traditional financial market structure, market participants and the evolving regulatory landscape across major jurisdictions is a plus
Fluent English; Mandarin a plus

Nice to have

Internship at a trading firm, exchange, fintech or fund
Personal trading or on-chain experience; side projects with real data
Familiarity with LLM / agent tooling
