About the Position
We are looking for a Data Engineer who can help us understand, clean, manage, and share the data that guides our trading. At Jane Street, having a thorough and accurate understanding of data is at the core of the work we do.
Using our mix of in-house and open-source software, you will analyze datasets gathered from a variety of sources, checking for anomalies, matching formats and symbologies, automating ETL processes, and generally making it easier for our traders to generate valuable insights.
You should be excited about digging deep into datasets and explaining your findings to different types of colleagues, working collaboratively with traders and software engineers.
While prior experience with financial data would be nice, we don’t expect you to have a finance background. We’re happy to hire talented engineers and teach them what they need to know.
About You
- Top-notch programming skills in any language (Python a plus)
- Experience with using SQL and relational databases
- Experience with generating data visualizations
- Knowledge of statistical techniques, including multivariate regression and time series analysis
- Clear and concise communication skills; able to efficiently analyze and deconstruct technical problems

What We Do
Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people.
Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar.
Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles.
We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day.
People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
