    DESCRIPTION

    We are looking for motivated and talented students who want to help us solve some of the most complex challenges in financial technology. Technology teams at CME write and maintain ultra low-latency electronic trading platforms, risk management systems, and front-end trading interfaces, all of which are central to CME's business. We are focused on designing, building and deploying customer focused solutions with passion and precision.

    CME Group Technology interns will gain unparalleled experience in electronic trading and financial technology. Interns will have the opportunity to work on a variety of applications and projects that directly impact the global trading ecosystem. In the past, our interns have worked on building cloud infrastructure, researching blockchain technologies, and taking ownership of new applications that can change the trading lifecycle.

    CME's Technology Summer Internship program offers students opportunities to learn more about CME's business, our role in the financial industry, and the types of technology that keeps our markets running. Students will develop both their technical skills and expand their network with access to industry experts, while working alongside other talented and ambitious students with a passion for FinTech.

    The selected candidate will join the Shared Services Functional Architecture & Analysis Team, which serves as the primary interface between business and technology stakeholders and works to understand and define how technology systems work together to solve business problems. With a proven ability to work across different offices, the Functional Architecture & Analysis Team provides project execution services such as impact analysis, requirements analysis, functional allocation & logical system design, and centralized data modeling. In this role, you will have an opportunity to develop both business analysis and technical skills while solving problems.

    CME Technology Summer Internships are paid, full -time roles that typically last 10-12 weeks. They are hybrid roles, typically based out of our Chicago office. The summer program includes numerous opportunities to network with peers from across the country during a summer full of experiences that include a boat tour on Lake Michigan, tours of our data center, a trading challenge with prizes, an outing at an MLB game, an overnight coding challenge, lunch and learns, and development workshops

    THE IDEAL CANDIDATE seeks to learn new ideas and can clearly communicate complex ideas back to others. Their inquisitive mindset and strong work ethic enable them to approach challenging problems in an open and collaborative way. They give and receive criticism of ideas in a constructive manner and focus on finding the best solution, even if it wasn't their idea.
