About the Position
We’re looking for a Surveillance Analyst to closely monitor Jane Street’s global activity to detect any potentially manipulative or problematic behaviors. Our regulatory landscape is complex and constantly evolving, and you will ensure we remain in compliance by investigating any potential issues and documenting findings as appropriate.
Doing this will require understanding the bigger picture of our daily business activity across the firm, monitoring trading activity, responding to regulatory inquiries, and supporting project work for the Compliance team as needed.
As our business continues to grow, you’ll work closely with our broader Legal and Compliance team (along with Trading, Operations, and others) to ensure we maintain a deep commitment to regulatory protocol and continue to meet our high standards across the firm.
About You
- 1+ years of experience analyzing large datasets (professional experience performing market surveillance and associated investigations is preferred but not required)
- Strong analytical thinker and problem solver
- Have excellent people and communication skills, and are comfortable interacting with members of several different teams across the firm
- Willing to learn from mistakes and accept constructive criticism
- Proactive, organized, and detail-oriented
- Able to manage competing priorities in a challenging and fast-paced environment
- Familiarity with surveillance products (such as Nasdaq Trade Surveillance) is a plus
- SQL skills are a plus

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.
