This coming January, Jane Street is excited to host our FOCUS programme at our London office. Over the course of two days, you will participate in classes, discussions, and activities that are structured to provide a broad overview of the work our trading, software development, and business development teams do. With countless opportunities to connect with other attendees and employees from across the firm, FOCUS provides an in-depth look at what it’s like to work at Jane Street.

Attendees will arrive in London on Wednesday, 13th January and depart Saturday, 16th January. You won’t need to pay anything to participate: Jane Street will provide all travel to and from London, along with meals, housing, and a variety of social events. You may also receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket, programme-related expenses.

Don’t have a background in finance? No worries — a large number of Jane Street employees don’t come from a financial background. If you’re curious about the work we do and want to learn more about what a career in finance could look like, we want to hear from you!

Interested in attending FOCUS? Submit your application here.

The deadline to apply is Sunday, 8th November 2026 at 11:59pm GMT. All applicants will receive an update on their application by Friday, 20th November 2026, regardless of when you submitted your application.

If you need a decision sooner due to a competing deadline or have any questions, please reach out to ldn-programs@janestreet.com.

We hope to meet you soon!

[1] To participate in this program, you must be a current undergraduate student who has experienced barriers to accessing advanced STEM educational opportunities.

Our definition of such barriers is broad; they could be related to personal circumstances or financial hardship. We acknowledge the breadth of challenges that could lead a high-achieving student to be under-resourced or under-exposed to advanced STEM opportunities. Examples include, but are not limited to: being a first-generation college/university student, identifying with an underrepresented ethnic/racial minority group, having notable need for financial assistance, attending an under-resourced or rural school, coming from a marginalized community, or experiencing personal hardship. This list is not exhaustive, and we encourage any student who is interested and believes they fit the criteria for the program to apply.

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.
