Jane Street is hard at work building OxCaml, a branch of OCaml with a variety of extensions to support performance engineering. But designing and implementing the language is only half the battle: we need our developers to understand its nuances and program in OxCaml as experts. That's where you come in.
We’re looking for an experienced, skilled educator to help us develop materials and deliver courses to teach engineers at Jane Street how to use OxCaml effectively. You would work broadly across our internal educational programs, from expanding our OCaml Bootcamp for new hires to use OxCaml to developing specific tutorials to level-up experienced developers that need OxCaml's most advanced features.
This is a unique opportunity to work hand-in-hand with a language's designers and implementers to develop its educational component. You would be part of the team within Jane Street building the next generation of OxCaml.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- We want someone who is a skilled, effective, and experienced teacher. Part of that means being an effective writer and presenter.
- The job demands an understanding of our technology stack, and the best way to build that understanding is by doing. That means we want someone who is good at writing code, and is excited to spend a significant fraction of their time doing so.
- Part of the job is going to be directly teaching and developing curricula. But an equally important part is helping other people involved in teaching grow their skills, so we want someone who is good at mentoring other budding teachers.
We’re excited to talk to people who have experience teaching CS topics in a university setting, as well as people who have spent time teaching technical topics in industrial settings.

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.
