Quantitative Analyst (Quant) Intern

Ameriprise Financial is hiring a Quantitative Analyst (Quant) Intern in New Delhi — a hands-on, mentor-led internship built for students and 2026 freshers who want real exposure to quantitative finance and algorithmic trading rather than a certificate-only programme. About the role As a Quantitative Analyst (Quant) Intern at Ameriprise Financial, your core focus will be building and back-testing quantitative models on real market data. You are attached to a named mentor, join the team's stand-ups and reviews, and are trusted with work that matters rather than filler tasks.

What you'll do day to day • Work on building and back-testing quantitative models on real market data alongside the core team • Use Stochastic Calculus, Financial Modeling, Python, Algorithmic Trading, Time-Series Analysis on live, production-facing problems • Turn your work into clear documentation, notes or decks for reviewers • Take part in reviews and act on the feedback you receive • Collaborate across functions — engineering, product, design or business as the work demands • Follow the team's quality, testing and documentation standards • Track and report your own progress against an agreed plan Skills you'll build You will build practical, demonstrable experience in Stochastic Calculus, Financial Modeling, Python, Algorithmic Trading, Time-Series Analysis, Probability & Statistics, Back-testing Frameworks, Derivatives Pricing, NumPy / Pandas, Risk Metrics (VaR, Sharpe) — the exact toolkit that separates a hireable fresher from a CV full of coursework. No prior work experience is required. Curiosity, problem-solving ability and a willingness to learn matter far more here than a polished résumé, and every one of these skills is taught on the job. Who should apply Students in their final year or recent graduates from B.E./B.Tech, B.Sc/M.Sc (Mathematics / Statistics / Physics), B.Stat or MBA (Finance) based in or willing to work from New Delhi. You should be willing to learn Stochastic Calculus, Financial Modeling, Python and able to communicate clearly in writing. Personal projects, coursework, certifications or open-source contributions strengthen your application, but none of them are mandatory. Internship details This is a 6-month internship in New Delhi, Delhi, with a stipend of ₹41,000 per month. You will be given a defined project so that you leave with a back-tested strategy with an honest write-up of where it fails. Working hours follow the team's normal business hours and the internship includes a certificate on successful completion. You will finish this internship with practical, demonstrable skills, real project work to point at, and a much clearer sense of how the industry actually operates day to day.
