Machine Learning Discovery Summit (On-site)

About the role

A two-day, on-site Discovery Summit in New York for students studying machine learning. Explore how Susquehanna researchers and engineers apply machine learning, financial data, options theory, and optimization to trading; join technical sessions and trading games, meet practitioners, tour the trading floor, and learn how models progress from experiments to live trading.

Program Activities

• Attend technical sessions on options theory, financial data, and machine learning in practice.
• Hear senior researchers and engineers discuss how they approach open-ended problems.
• Participate in trading games testing probabilistic thinking and decision-making under uncertainty.
• Connect with junior researchers who moved from academia to industry.
• Tour the trading floor.

Learning & Exposure

• Explore deep learning, reinforcement learning, agentic AI, sequence modeling, and large-scale optimization.
• See how models move from experiments to live trading.
• Learn how teams apply models to noisy, fast-moving financial data with faint signals and immediate feedback.
• Understand the intellectual challenges and collaborative culture of machine learning teams.

Format & Setting

• Attend the two-day, on-site summit in New York City.
• No finance background is required; markets knowledge will be taught during the program.
