We are looking for skilled analysts to join our Finance group. Our team, like the rest of Jane Street, are critical thinkers and problem solvers. We are ultimately responsible for managing the capital base the firm uses for trading. Much of what we do is constrained optimization – working with and providing costs to trading desks, managing our positions across providers subject to a vast set of limits and constraints, and strategizing how to support future growth. We’re also responsible for the modeling, monitoring, operational processes and infrastructure that enable it.
In this role, you’ll work closely with colleagues within the group, with other teams throughout the firm and across offices, and with external counterparties - taking on responsibilities including:
- Monitoring the firm’s capital usage and cost allocation systems, including triaging, escalating, and actioning alerts
- Translating qualitative recommendations into system configuration and parameter changes
- Reconciling internal and external margin and billing models, including liaising with our external counterparts
- Executing various funding and financing trades - such as FX balance management, equity position financing, and funding treasuries
- Operating firm-wide position management systems that shape our book based on various costs and constraints
- Maintaining and improving desk infrastructure by automating workflows, building new monitoring and visualization tools, and supporting ad-hoc requests from the team
- Identifying material financing cost inefficiencies and establishing mechanisms to optimize them going forward
There is ample room for growth in this position. As you gain experience in day-to-day operations, you'll independently make high-value, time-sensitive decisions, take increased responsibility for key processes, and design and implement long-term improvements. You’ll begin to think through how we prepare and respond to exceptional events and market volatility.
About You- 1+ years of professional experience in a quantitative or technical role. We don’t require any finance background - we care more about your curiosity, enthusiasm, and ability to grasp new problems.
- Interested in working in a role focused on day-to-day processes and real-time monitoring
- Proactive, organized, and thorough, with a keen attention to detail
- Able to learn quickly, follow policies and procedures, and show good judgment under pressure
- Comfortable with data analysis and familiar with basic programming techniques. Willing to learn Python and SQL, and to develop techniques for using AI to scale existing processes.
- Numerate and comfortable taking a quantitative approach to make decisions
- Curious and eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, and continuously improve
- A strong verbal and written communicator, comfortable building strong relationships with external partners

Jane Street Insights
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.
