DB Analytics is the front office cross-asset quant team in charge of the research and development of Deutsche Bank’s pricing models. The DB Analytics library is the inner mathematical layer of every DB pricing and risk management system, and it is used to price every cash and derivative transaction in rates, inflation, credit, foreign exchange, commodities, mortgages and hybrids.

You should expect a challenging derivatives modeling project that includes numerical implementation and analysis. You will work under the supervision of a senior team member who covers a business area e.g. interest rate exotic options.

The team puts the heaviest emphasis on stochastic calculus. You’ll need strong quantitative skills to read and analyse mathematically challenging research papers and will be required to develop an intuition on complex concepts. Solid programming skills will be needed to implement a modeling prototype in C++.

Rates Desk Strats — you will use mathematical modelling and programming to help the business drive revenue through advanced risk management analytics, market data build-out, and process automation. In this collaborative role, you will partner with a wide variety of stakeholders — including Trading, Sales, Structuring, Market Risk, Technology, and Operations - while delivering a dedicated project for one of our Rates desks (spanning Linear Swaps, European Government Bonds, Non-Linear Rates, Commodities, Inflation, Hybrids & Exotics, or Quantitative Investment Strategies).

CB & PB Strats — is responsible for all quantitative and analytical work for Corporate Bank and Private Bank divisions. This includes pricing, funding, liquidity management, IR risk calculation and hedging, profitability measurement, capital optimization, and SVA. We build and roll out Kannon (our front office risk and pricing platform) to these divisions to support these functionalities. We work closely with Cash Management, Trade Finance and Lending, Strategic Corporate Lending in CB as well as both Wealth Management and Retail business in Private Bank. We partner with Treasury and Treasury Strats on several initiatives.

Treasury Strategic Analytics supports the Treasury function in the bank and supports desks such as Pool Trading, Asset & Liability Management, Liquidity Management, Issuance, Liquidity Reserve Management, Capital Management. This involves developing solutions for Pre-trade Pricing/Execution/Governance, Post-Trade Risk/PL calculation, Treasury Markets management and Hedge accounting. In terms of products, this implies working with a range of money market products to fund the balance sheet, derivatives to hedge interest and FX risk as well as investment products that are either issued by the bank or held as reserves. The team also delivers solutions for bank-wide regulatory responsibilities such as Regulatory Liquidity Ratio monitoring and Net Interest Income reporting.

You will develop a good understanding of how Treasury works by interacting with Traders and Risk/Finance managers and come up with novel approaches to solve problems. Projects could involve developing new pricing or quoting mechanisms, more efficient algorithms to measure and optimally hedge the bank’s risk, automation of manual tasks with AI/ML etc.

Client and Control Strats is responsible for developing and implementing models, data capabilities, platforms and processes that address revenue and cost optimisation, capital efficiency and control effectiveness. The team develops behavioural models that monitor clients and traders by analysing transactions, relationship networks and changes over time, helping to identify activity that deviates from expected profiles or may indicate fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion or other forms of financial crime.

You will test innovative algorithms and feature designs that enhance the detection of unusual client or trader behaviours. This may include applying AI/ML techniques, particularly in graph analytics, entity recognition and anomaly detection. The role will require you to understand the risks these models are designed to address, as well as the profiles and activities of our traders and clients.

The internship will start between May and June 2027 and have a duration of 18 weeks.
