Job Overview

Do you enjoy capital-market puzzles and building software that solves them? Our Equity Operations team designs and maintains data pipelines that power next-generation index and ETF products. If you like turning raw market data into clean, queryable databases and mapping out how each component fits into a larger architecture, we would love to work with you.

Your Tasks

• Collecting and validating equity and corporate-action data from APIs, SFTP feeds, and web sources
• Designing simple data pipelines: creating scripts that load raw files into staging tables, runing quality checks, and publishing clean datasets for downstream use
• Supporting the daily index-rebalancing process by automating recurring workflow steps with Python, SQL, or VBA
• Building prototype dashboards or notebooks that let analysts explore new thematic-index ideas
• Collaborating with adjacent teams (Index Research, Data Engineering, Infrastructure) to integrate your code into our production environment

Your Profile

• You are enrolled in Computer Science, Mathematics, Finance, Economics, or a similar program
• Strong interest in stock-market mechanics, index construction, and investment trends
• Comfortable collecting data from APIs or flat files and loading it into relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL)
• Solid programming foundation in at least one language such as Python or VBA; basic knowledge of Git is a plus
• Able to think in systems - you enjoy sketching how different services, tables, and scripts connect
• Analytical, detail-oriented, and able to work independently
• Fluent in English
• Ideally available for a six-month internship

Our Offer

• Benefit from our “Solactive Internship Standards” (e.g., regular feedback sessions, own projects, support of a mentor in your department)
• Participate in regular student events (e.g., our bi-weekly Students@Solactive) to meet fellow interns and working students
• Be part of the Solactive family, a motivated team with an international setting
• Get to know the dynamics of an established, successful FinTech company
• Experience a modern start-up culture with a flat hierarchy
• Seize the opportunity to develop personally and take over responsibility
• Receive numerous benefits (e.g. gym, regular staff parties, access to Corporate Benefits, modern office space with ergonomic set-up, employee lounge, and free beverages and fruits) and a monthly remuneration for your internship
