Compliance Technology Intern

Compliance Technology Intern

Jain Global is an innovative multi-strategy investment firm founded in July 2024 by Bobby Jain with over 400 employees operating from offices in New York, Houston, London, Singapore, and Hong Kong, we are looking to add to our growing teams.

About the Role

We are seeking a Software Engineering Intern to join our Compliance Technology team for the summer of 2027. In this role, you will support the firm’s compliance function by contributing to technology solutions that help meet regulatory obligations. Collaborating with senior engineers and the Legal & Compliance team, you will design, build, and ship one well-scoped project end to end: a working tool that automates a process the Compliance team currently handles manually.

You will write production-quality code, work with real data, and partner directly with compliance officers and engineers. You’ll create something the team actually uses.

Your Project

Your project will be chosen from our 2027 roadmap based on team priorities and your skills. Projects will fall into one of two areas:

• Internal monitoring. Build services that ingest trading or activity data, apply compliance rules, flag exceptions, and surface them to reviewers through a clean interface. Examples include checking that activity stays within defined restrictions, or reconciling records and timestamps across systems to catch discrepancies.
• Team metrics and reporting. Build an automated pipeline that collects, calculates, and visualizes the metrics Compliance reports to management, replacing manual spreadsheets with a repeatable, auditable system.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate policies and compliance requirements into a technical design, working closely with senior developers and Compliance stakeholders.
• Write clean, tested code in Python and SQL, plus front-end work as needed.
• Build dashboards or web interfaces that give compliance users clear, actionable views of exceptions or metrics.
• Validate your system’s output against manual results to confirm accuracy and support auditability.
• Present progress in weekly check-ins and demos.

What You’ll Build and Learn

• Data ingestion pipelines that pull from internal databases, files, and APIs

• Rules or metrics engines with clear logic and automated tests

• A user-facing dashboard or web interface for non-technical users

• Logging and error handling suited to a system people depend on

• Documentation that lets another engineer maintain your work

• You’ll work within a real engineering workflow, including version control, code review, and testing before release.

Deliverables

• Requirements and design document, reviewed with stakeholders
• Working end-to-end prototype with data ingestion and core logic
• Feature-complete tool with a dashboard or interface for compliance users
• Automated tests and a validation summary comparing results against the current manual process
• User guide and technical handoff documentation
• Final demo and presentation to Compliance and Technology leadership, with recommendations for next steps

Qualifications & Experience

• Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, with an expected graduation in 2028 (rising senior).
• Proficient in Python or another general-purpose language (Java, C#, or similar).
• Familiarity with SQL and relational databases.
• Experience with Git and a solid grasp of data structures and algorithms.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Curious mindset with a willingness to learn quickly.

Preferred

• Experience with React / TypeScript or another front-end framework, and REST APIs.
• Familiarity with Snowflake, Postgres / MySQL, or AWS.
• Exposure to Docker or CI/CD pipelines.
• Prior internship or substantial personal or academic projects.
• Interest in financial markets, trading systems, or regulatory technology.

Compensation

The estimated base salary range for this position is $182,000 for Masters students and $234,000 for PhD students, which is specific to New York and may change in the future.
