- About the Position
- At Jane Street, quantitative traders identify market signals, analyse and execute strategies, construct quantitative models, conduct statistical analyses, build algorithmic trading systems, manage risk, develop new businesses, and more.
- Our trading desks are central to our collaborative and cooperative office environment. You can expect to work side by side with experienced traders who are committed to teaching, guiding
- supporting our newest hires. Through hands-on, interactive training, you’ll acquire significant trading responsibilities within weeks to months of being on the desk. In parallel, you will participate in our robust year-long firmwide educational curriculum.
- At Jane Street, the lines between research, technology, and trading are intentionally blurry, and you’ll have access to petabytes of data, a computing cluster with hundreds of thousands of cores, and a growing GPU cluster containing tens of thousands of high-end GPUs. We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” modelling solutions
- we are open to and excited about applying all different types of statistical and ML techniques, from linear models to deep learning, depending on what best fits a given problem.
- About you
- If you’ve never thought about a career in finance, you’re in good company. Many of us were in the same position before working here. We’re looking for smart people who enjoy solving interesting problems
- we’re more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know. You should be:
- A critical thinker with a strong quantitative mind
- A collaborative problem-solver who enjoys working on a team
- Proactive, reliable, and courteous with strong organisational and communication skills
- Eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, and learn new things
- Fluent in English
- A profitable trading strategy is only as strong as the technology it runs on
- we consider ourselves as much a technology company as a trading firm. General programming experience is a plus, but knowing a particular programming language is not required.
- If you’d like to learn more, you can read about our interview process and meet some of the team .
