Job Description

Trading & IT Intern

Syn Capital (W-Capital Group)

Location: Taman Desa KL

Duration: 3–6 months (Full-time preferred, Part-time negotiable)

Start Date: Immediate / April 2026 intake

About the Role

We are looking for a sharp, hungry Trading & IT Intern who wants to get their hands dirty in real institutional-grade quantitative trading while building cutting-edge fintech systems.

This is not a coffee-run internship.

You will sit right next to our Athena AI trading team and IT engineers, working on live market data, real trading strategies, and the infrastructure that powers a $130 billion private equity-backed quantitative engine.

If you want to see how AI actually makes money in global markets (PAXG-XAU arbitrage, SMC smart-money models, 8-factor convergence), and at the same time learn how to build, monitor and secure high-frequency trading systems — this role is built for you.

What You Will Do

Trading Side

Monitor live Athena trading engine performance (24/7 global markets)

Assist in data analysis, signal validation, and back-testing of new strategies

Track PAXG-XAU arbitrage opportunities and SMC (Smart Money Concept) setups

Prepare daily/weekly trading reports and performance dashboards

Help the team refine risk parameters and position sizing

IT / Tech Side

Support the trading infrastructure (MT5, Python scripts, cloud monitoring on Tencent Cloud)

Build and maintain internal dashboards (real-time PnL, latency, slippage tracking)

Assist with API integrations, data pipelines, and basic automation scripts

Perform system health checks, log analysis, and basic cybersecurity monitoring

Help document trading system workflows and create user guides

What We Are Looking For

Currently pursuing or recently graduated in Finance, Quantitative Finance, Computer Science, Data Science, or related field

Strong interest in trading, quant strategies, and fintech

Basic Python (or willingness to learn fast) and Excel/Google Sheets mastery

Familiarity with MT5, TradingView, or any trading platform is a big plus

Good English + Chinese (Mandarin) is highly advantageous

Detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and genuinely excited about markets moving 24/7

No prior professional experience required — we care more about your hunger and learning speed than your resume.

What You Will Get

Direct exposure to live institutional quantitative trading (most interns never see this)

Mentorship from Eva (our Head of Quantitative Trading with 10+ years Wall Street experience) and senior IT engineers

Real contribution to live strategies — your work will actually affect daily PnL

Certificate + strong recommendation letter (many past interns received full-time offers)

Competitive monthly stipend + performance bonus

Chance to attend internal strategy meetings and client briefings

How to Apply

Send your resume + a short note (max 150 words) telling us:

“Why you want to join the Athena trading engine and what you can bring in the first 30 days.”

Subject: Trading & IT Intern – [Your Name]

Deadline: Rolling until positions are filled (we only take 2–3 interns per batch).

This is your chance to stop reading about quant trading and start doing it.

See you on the trading floor.
