About the Role
We are looking for a motivated student to join Gradient Technologies as a paid intern. This is a hybrid role combining equity research and business development — you will work directly alongside our team from day one, conducting analysis of publicly listed stocks while also supporting our go-to-market efforts.
Your core focus: understanding individual companies at a deep level — their financials, competitive position, catalysts, and valuation. You will gain real exposure to both traditional equity research and AI-powered financial analysis.
What You Will Do
Equity Research
- Conduct fundamental analysis of individual publicly listed stocks — financials, business models, competitive dynamics, and valuation
- Analyze earnings reports, annual filings, investor presentations, and earnings calls
- Support the building and maintenance of valuation models (DCF, comparable multiples, sum-of-the-parts)
- Help validate and improve our AI-driven equity analysis systems by providing domain expertise and quality checks
- Prepare structured research summaries and investment theses
- Monitor portfolio holdings and flag material developments
General Support
- Assist with day-to-day operational and management tasks
- Assist with market research on industry trends and the competitive landscape
- Help prepare investor presentations and pitch materials
- Support internal documentation and reporting
What We Are Looking For
- Currently enrolled in a degree programme (Finance, Business, Economics, or similar)
- Strong interest in and knowledge of individual stock analysis and fundamental research — this is the core of the role
- Understanding of financial statements, key metrics, and valuation methodologies
- Genuine passion for financial markets and investing
- Curiosity about how AI and machine learning can enhance equity research
- Self-starter attitude — you get things done without being hand-held
- Strong communication skills in English and German
Nice to Have
- Experience with Python for financial data analysis
- Interest in quantitative methods or financial modelling
- Familiarity with Bloomberg, Reuters, FactSet, or similar platforms
- Prior coursework or projects in equity research, corporate finance, or asset management
What We Offer
- Paid internship: Fair compensation for your work
- Real impact: Your contributions go into production systems, not toy projects
- Flexible location: Fully remote or based in Hamburg — your choice
- Direct founder access: Work closely with Pablo and Jan from day one
- Learning environment: Grow fast in a small, senior team
