In this multi-day program, we invite women, transgender, and/or gender-expansive individuals to learn about the roles within our firm and how we solve challenges at Jane Street — including the specific concepts and tools we use in our daily work.

As you explore opportunities within the program, you’ll notice that event topics and locations will vary. We offer classes and activities in three separate tracks: software engineering, trading, and strategy and product.

In the trading program, students will learn about mathematical and financial topics such as probability, market structure, and arbitrage through a combination of short classroom 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 everyday work.

In the software engineering program, students will learn about OCaml and the libraries and tools that we use in our everyday work, as well as the fundamentals of building electronic trading systems. Then, they’ll put these tools to use by writing the backend and UI for a computer game and a program that trades on a simulated stock exchange.

In the strategy and product program, students will explore a broad variety of Infrastructure subgroups, including treasury, compliance, operations, and project consulting, to learn how we solve cross-departmental problems to support the firm’s growth. 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. The program will give attendees a glimpse into the work that goes on in our Strategy and Product department.

The INSIGHT program does not require a prior knowledge of finance, only an interest in seeing what a career at Jane Street might look like. Please apply only to the location nearest you.
