Technology Intern - Hong Kong - 2027 - Marshall Wace Internship Programmes

Location: Hong Kong, fully in-office (no remote work)

Dates: 10 weeks, May - August start date - dependent on your course.

About the Programme

Get a taste of working in a fast-paced, tech-led environment in our London office. Our intern programme provides the opportunity to work directly with our Development teams. These projects support areas such as Finance, Operations, Risk, Trading, and Portfolio Management.

During your internship, you will gain valuable hands-on experience with a multitude of technologies and disciplines such as devops, data engineering, cyber security, web development, business intelligence, software engineering, and stream processing.

What do we want?

This internship is ideal for an innovative problem solver who can demonstrate inventive and creative use of technology. Successful participants will have the possibility to return full time as a graduate when they complete their studies.

We don’t specifically look for those on a Computer Science degree but, do look for those who have actively developed technical, programming skills. This could be on previous internship programmes, through hackathon involvement or even just completing passion projects in your free time.

We also look for those with exceptional academic achievement and impressive communication and collaboration skills.

Finally, we also believe that the right person is more than just a technical expert. We place real value on team-working, entrepreneurialism and strong communication skills. This isn’t a scheme for someone who wants to sit quietly behind a desk.

Note, our programme is open to first-year students but, we consider those applications alongside penultimate years.

What’s involved?

During the internship programme, you will hone your software and programming skills whilst building an understanding of our business and financial markets. You’ll join a cutting-edge team with the ability to assume as much responsibility and autonomy as you can take on.

The selection of intern projects is a collaborative process. The entire Technology team is invited to propose project ideas that could potentially benefit the team or the wider business. Senior managers then choose the projects that promise the most significant impact. You will collaborate directly with the team that proposed the project, typically working in pairs.

Throughout your internship, you will receive comprehensive support from our teams, starting from an initial induction to a performance review upon completion of your tenure. This support includes personalized mentoring, regular seminars with senior managers and key staff, social events, and opportunities to engage in the firm’s charitable activities. At the conclusion of your internship, you will present your project to the Technology team.

To give a flavour of the sorts of work our interns do however, some project examples are:
