Software engineers at PDT build and maintain technology across the trading life cycle. Interns design, develop, debug, and test components for large-scale financial data, real-time events, and batch processing — often on open-ended problems where creativity and new technologies matter. Projects may touch trading tech contributions, infrastructure management tooling, and large-scale dataset maintenance, with emphasis on correctness, maintainability, and efficiency (data structures, algorithms, parallelization).
