A Day in the Life
While every day looks a bit different, Software Engineering and Quantitative Research intern daily calendars are typically filled with technical trainings, organized social events, and dedicated time to work on final projects.
9:15AM
Morning Meetings
Quantitative Research, New York City

This morning, I’m taking my manager through an analysis that I’m thinking about for my final project. I hit a few snags last week, but she’s helping me think through the approach, so I’m feeling prepared to make some headway during the next few hours of focused work. A review of MiSoSouP opens up a few new ideas.
11:00am
Meet & Greet with CTO
Software Engineering, Houston

Small groups of Software Engineers have been attending a virtual Meet & Greet with the CTO, and today it’s my turn. Last week a group of interns met with the head of platform engineering, next week another group will meet with the head of data engineering and infrastructure engineering.


12:00pm
Intern Pod Lunch
Quantitative Research, New York
I have lunch with my Intern Pod and our Buddy today. Some days we talk through our projects, but most days we connect on shared interests, our home towns and university experiences. Today we talked about Two Sigma’s monthly poker night. I’ve never played before, but another member of our Pod taught a Poker 101 class in the Hacker Lab last week.


1:00pm
Engineering Environment Trainings
Software Engineering, New York

Headed to the Intro to the Two Sigma Engineering Environment training course, where I will learn some of the finer points about the software development environment at Two Sigma.


4:00pm
Intern Reading Group
Quantitative Research, New York

I’m part of an Intern Reading Group, and we review several research papers on topics ranging from alternative data, machine learning, portfolio management, etc. These discussions are informal and collaborative. There is a lot of idea sharing that mirrors an academic setting. This session is being led by a former Two Sigma intern, so I’m interested to hear about her perspective as well as her career trajectory.


5:30pm
HackerLab: Building a VPN
Software Engineering, New York
After a day of project meetings, I like hanging out in the Hacker Lab to apply some of my engineering skills in a more social setting. Tonight’s topic is building an at-home VPN.
