Jane Street is hosting a virtual Electronic Trading Challenge (ETC), a day-long programming contest where participants compete for cash prizes in a simulated market scenario. If you like solving problems, working on a team, and want to take on a challenge with your classmates and friends, this is an event for you!

At Jane Street, programming is an integral part of how we approach problems — whether we’re designing a trading strategy, managing the operational complexities of a new trade-flow, or administering servers in locations across the globe.

ETC provides an excellent opportunity to put your programming skills to the test, and learn and collaborate alongside other students like yourself. See details about the upcoming event below:

When: Saturday, October 14th, from 10.00am to 6.00pm HKT

Who: Penultimate year university students studying in the APAC region

Format: Virtual (details will be shared with selected teams prior to the event)

You must sign up as a team of three or four participants. All teammates must be present during virtual attendance in order to be eligible for prizes. Unfortunately, we are not accepting single participant registrations.

Sign-ups will close on Sunday 1st October 2023 at 11:59pm HKT.

Food and drinks vouchers will be provided for you to enjoy throughout the event. We hope to see you there!

Jane Street works differently. We are a quantitative trading firm active on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we 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.

We are always recruiting top students and we invest heavily in teaching and training. The environment at Jane Street is open, informal, intellectual, and fun. 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.
