About the Position
Jane Street is seeking a talented FIX Onboarding and Connectivity Engineer to enhance our proprietary trading capabilities and client-facing trading operations. This pivotal role involves fine-tuning the technical processes that empower our trading desks to access new products and exchanges, as well as facilitating the onboarding of external clients wishing to trade with us. You will collaborate closely with our trading teams to foster business growth and work alongside our technology teams to develop cutting-edge connectivity systems.
At Jane Street, we encourage continuous learning and knowledge sharing. While prior experience with FIX and other electronic trading protocols is beneficial, we are particularly enthusiastic about candidates with a solid software engineering foundation, as we are committed to teaching you the intricacies of our trading and technology.
Your primary focus will be on onboarding and connectivity projects that span both proprietary and client-facing trading operations. This will require prioritizing requests from the trading desks, collaborating with developers, infrastructure engineers, and external partners, and ensuring a smooth transition from onboarding to production. You'll often bridge the gap between clients, trading teams, and technology teams, necessitating strong communication and coordination skills. Familiarity with the Unix command line and the ability to develop code of varying complexity are essential for success in this role.
We value your input on how we can improve team collaboration and project delivery, as well as how we interface with other internal teams. An empathetic and thoughtful perspective on our team dynamics will be crucial.
