Jane Street is a
quantitative trading firm that uses innovative
technology, a scientific approach, and a deep
understanding of markets to guide our business. We
are a global liquidity provider and market maker,
operating around the clock and around the globe,
out of offices in New York, London, Hong Kong, and
Amsterdam.
The
markets change rapidly, and we need to change
faster still. Every day, we come to work with new
problems to solve, new systems to build and new
theories to test. We’re always looking for people
to join us and help come up with that next great
idea.
Software
is an integral part of how we approach problems,
whether we’re designing a trading strategy,
managing the operational complexities of a new
trade-flow, or administering servers in locations
across the globe. Trading is a demanding business,
and that means the standards for our software are
high on every front, including clarity,
performance, safety, and turnaround time.
We use OCaml, a statically-typed
functional programming language, as our primary
development language. Languages in this family,
like Haskell, SML, F# and Scala, are sometimes
seen as powerful but impractical, in part because
they’re supposedly too difficult for the average
programmer, and in part because no one else seems
to use them.

Hope to
see you there!
