New York, NY, United States Jane Street Full time
About the Program

Our goal is to give you a real sense of what it's like to work at Jane Street full time. Over the course of your internship, you will explore ways to approach and solve exciting problems within your field of interest through fun and challenging classes, interactive sessions, and group discussions-and then you will have the chance to put those lessons to practical use.

As an intern, you are paired with full-time employees who act as mentors, collaborating with you on real-world projects we actually need done. When you're not working on your project, you will have plenty of time to use our office amenities, physical and virtual educational resources, attend guest speakers and social events, and engage with the parts of our work that excite you the most.

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. If you have a curious mind, a collaborative spirit, and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have a feeling you'll fit right in.
About the Position

We are looking for individuals of all majors who are interested in exploring what a career as a Trading Desk Operations Engineer (TDOE) might be like. Our TDOE internship is an immersive and fast-paced program that allows you to work on real-world projects that are directly tied to the challenges we face daily at the trading desk, all guided by a dedicated TDOE mentor. You will have the opportunity to wear many hats and tackle diverse projects such as:
  • Managing and optimizing infrastructure and operational processes
  • Supporting trading systems and workflows by executing data queries and coordinating with stakeholders
  • Designing and implementing solutions for a range of trading and operations-related issues on the desk
Through these experiences, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the trading product, including its life cycle, regulatory considerations, and operational workflows. Plus, you'll have a chance to build off your new professional growth with bootcamps and classes that are tailored to accelerate your technical and operational expertise.

Our collaborative trading desks are central to our office environment, and we believe the best way to integrate our interns is through a hands-on, interactive approach. In the past, some of the tools developed by our interns have had a real impact on our trading desks. We can't wait to teach you what we know, and learn a few things from you as well.
About You

We don't expect you to have a background in computer science, finance, engineering, or any other specific field-we're really just 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:
  • Planning to graduate in 2027, all majors are welcome
  • A critical thinker with a strong quantitative foundation and an interest in growing your programming skills
  • A team player with a "no job too small" attitude
  • Interested in finance and passionate about STEM
  • Able to balance competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Proactive, organized, reliable, and courteous
  • An excellent verbal and written communicator; able to use technical knowledge and strong collaboration skills to reach solutions
  • Intellectually humble; eager to ask questions and learn new things
