Jane Street is looking to hire functional programmers for our offices in New York, London and Hong Kong.  We're looking for both interns for this upcoming winter, summer as well as full-time hires.

Jane Street has the largest team of OCaml developers in any industrial setting, and probably the world's largest OCaml codebase. We use OCaml for running our entire business, supporting everything from statistical research to systems administration to automated trading systems.  If you're interested in using OCaml to solve real-world problems, there's no better place. 

Jane Street has (in my humble opinion) a great work environment.  It has a very informal feel --- if you dress much nicer than a t-shirt in jeans, you'll look out of place --- but it's also an intellectually challenging place where you get to wrestle with hard problems and learn about the subject matter of trading, a fascinating field in its own right.  There's also a strong focus on education, with both on the job training and a system of formal classes. 

We also have a strong commitment to OCaml and to open-source software. We released our Core suite of libraries a few years back, and we continue to extend the reach of our public releases.  And we have and will continue to financially support projects to improve the OCaml ecosystem. 

Compensation is more than competitive, and no prior experience with finance is required. 

Here are some resources you can use to learn more about Jane Street and what we do.

If you want to get a flavor of our approach to software, you might be interested in looking at Async, a monadic concurrency library we just released:
