This January, Jane Street is excited to host our INSIGHT program in Hong Kong! We’re inviting students who identify as women, transgender, and/or gender-expansive to spend three days in our office learning more about roles within our firm and how we solve challenges at Jane Street, including the specific concepts and tools we use in our daily work.

Selected students will arrive in Hong Kong and depart according to their track dates. Jane Street will provide all travel to and from Hong Kong, as well as meals, housing, and a variety of social events. Out-of-pocket program-related expenses may be eligible for reimbursement.

INSIGHT has three different program tracks students can apply for:

• Trading and Research (January 3rd – 8th) — attendees will learn about mathematical and financial topics such as probability, market structure, and arbitrage through a combination of short lectures, group games, and mock trading sessions. They will also get exposure to machine learning and how Jane Street traders use modeling and research in their work.
• Strategy and Product (January 3rd – 8th) — attendees will get a glimpse into the work that goes on in our Strategy and Product Internship and rotational program. 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.
• Software Engineering (January 5th – 10th) — attendees will learn about OCaml, the libraries and tools we use in our daily work, and put them to use building a computer game. Participants will practice technical communication skills, problem-solving techniques, and software engineering interview skills through hands-on practice and mock interviews. Participants will also learn the fundamentals of electronic trading systems and build programs that trade on simulated stock exchanges.

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!

Apply here to be considered for a spot.

The deadline to apply for this program is Sunday, November 8th, 2026 at 11:59 pm HKT. After the deadline, applicants moving on to the next round will receive an invitation to complete technical assessments based on which program track they applied for. All applicants will hear back from us by Monday, November 23rd, 2026.
