This coming spring, Jane Street is excited to host our annual IN FOCUS program at our office in New York City. Over the course of four days, students will learn more about what we do and how we do it through programming and mock trading exercises, classroom lectures, and other interactive activities.

Selected students will arrive in New York City on the afternoon of Monday, May 15 2023 and will depart on the morning of Saturday, May 20, 2023. Jane Street will cover all travel expenses to and from New York City, including housing and meals.

IN FOCUS features three separate program tracks students can apply for:

  • Trading program — students will learn about mathematical and financial topics such as probability, market structure, and arbitrage through short lectures, group games, and mock trading sessions.
  • Software engineering program — students will learn OCaml, understand the libraries and tools we use in our daily work, and apply their learnings to build a computer game. Participants will also learn the fundamentals of electronic trading systems and write a program that trades on a simulated stock exchange.
  • Business development program — attendees will get a glimpse into our Business Development Internship and Rotational Development Programs. Case studies and problem-solving exercises will introduce participants to how we optimize funding and financing, set up new trading flows, respond to regulatory inquiries, and generally manage the complex mechanics that underlie Jane Street’s business.

Don’t have a background in finance? No worries — many Jane Street employees don’t come from a financial background. If you’re curious about our work and want to learn more about what a career in finance could look like, we encourage you to apply!

How to apply:

We ask that you submit a resume along with a 150-word statement about yourself and why you are interested in attending IN FOCUS.

The deadline to apply for this event is Sunday, March 19, 2023.
