Summer 2027 Equity Trader Internship
About The Position
Trillium is a leading proprietary trading firm active in US Equities, US Options, Canadian Equities, and OTC Equities. With trading technology built, tested, and optimized in-house, our engineers and technologists collaborate with our traders to deliver tools and functionality designed to support their needs. Our passion for the markets and our drive to succeed have propelled our track record of growth and profitability for over 20 years. At Trillium, we are a team of problem solvers and independent thinkers dedicated to seizing market opportunities. This position is open in any of our three locations: New York, NY | Chicago, IL | Miami, FL. As an Equity Trader Intern, you will spend the summer learning about the markets and Trillium’s proprietary technology. Working closely with a designated mentor, you will research and enhance our existing trade strategies. You will develop a solid understanding of the US, Canadian, and OTC equity markets, along with the US options market, while strengthening your communication, quantitative, and analytical skills. Here, you’ll practice and grow your understanding of economics, risk assessment, and decision-making by placing simulated split-second buy and sell orders using our proprietary keyboard-based trading platform. Our intention is to set our interns up for success before graduation and thoughtfully challenge each to expand their knowledge of markets while providing exposure to manual trading. Interns who prove they are a great fit for Trillium during the internship may receive offers to become full-time equity traders after graduation.
