About the Position
We are looking for a versatile Portfolio Finance and/or Treasury Specialist to join our APAC Finance team. This role requires a broad range of skills, from the more technical skills (e.g., analytics, portfolio optimization, returns profile and building monitoring tools) to softer skills like project leadership, collaborating with teams across the firm and coordinating with external counterparties.
At Jane Street, we are always eager to learn new things and teach others what we know. This role is an exciting opportunity to learn some new skills, strategies and products—as well as to gain a deeper understanding of our financing infrastructure and various businesses.
We will count on you to bring fresh ideas to the table and help us find solutions to all sorts of hard and interesting problems, which may include:
- Building efficiency in securities lending and financing processes across the firm
- Diversifying and optimizing Jane Street's borrowing sources through strategic product builds and the leveraging of street-side relationships
- Understanding how changes to our regulatory environment may impact risk and trading
- Producing tools and systems to better develop, grow and monitor risk in our business
The strongest candidate for this role would be a systems thinker who loves working with people. Successfully implementing the solutions our team develops together will require partnering with the desks to help with trades and trade ideas, and working with the broader team to make sure our partnerships with prime brokers, financing providers and service providers are optimized in terms of efficiency and bottom-line returns.
About You
- 3+ years of related finance or Delta One-type experience at a sell-side or buy-side firm, either in a trading role or adjacent/related seat
- Able to develop relationships with clearing, execution and financing partners
- Motivated self-starter who can help build a platform capable of supporting our growth

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.
