About the job

About the Position

Jane Street is seeking talented Software Engineers eager to design and develop the systems and tools that drive our firm. Our Software Engineers play a pivotal role across various departments, addressing real-world challenges from trading desks to accounting, as well as constructing foundational infrastructure like network monitoring and risk models.

We are strong advocates of functional programming, primarily utilizing OCaml, a statically-typed functional programming language. Recently, Python has also become essential to Jane Street’s research and trading operations, serving as our primary language for data analysis, visualization, and machine learning.

In addition to our internal projects, we value open-source software and actively incorporate it into our workflows. We've released over a million lines of code as open source and continually seek to contribute to projects like Mercurial, the OCaml compiler, and the OPAM package manager. We welcome engineers with experience in any programming language—many of our team members joined with minimal OCaml experience.
