No published policyQuantitative Trading Analyst Intern, Software Developer Intern, Quantitative Research Intern and FPGA Intern

Unconfirmed. DRW publishes no sponsorship policy for its quantitative trading analyst intern, software developer, so we cannot state a firm answer. DRW is a Chicago-headquartered proprietary trading firm with a London office. Its London summer 2027 internships include Quantitative Trading Analyst Intern (10 weeks of project-based assignments ending in a presentation to senior leadership), Software Developer Intern, Quantitative Research Intern and FPGA Intern. Candidates need a bachelor's, master's or PhD in a quantitative, computing or engineering subject with expected graduation between December 2027 and August 2028 (October 2028 for Quantitative Research). These postings do not mention visa sponsorship. DRW's separate Leadership Rotation Network internship does exclude candidates needing sponsorship, but that rule is written into the LRN posting, not these.

The catch: Do not assume the LRN no-sponsorship line applies to the trading and technology internships, and do not assume it does not; ask DRW recruiting if you will need a visa after graduating.
