Quantitative Trader

Our goals are to give you a real sense of what it's like to work as a Quantitative Trader at Jane Street while also providing a truly unparalleled educational experience. You'll be paired with experienced quantitative traders who will teach you how to identify market signals, analyse and execute strategies, construct quantitative models, conduct statistical analysis, and build trading intuition.

At Jane Street, you'll have access to petabytes of data, a computing cluster with hundreds of thousands of cores, and a growing GPU cluster containing tens of thousands of high-end GPUs. You'll work closely with two different mentors on projects relating to their day-to-day work, giving you a sense of the variety of problems we solve every day. Past projects have included analysing new or existing datasets, training predictive models, simulating potential new trading strategies, writing tools that we use in production, and even working to answer big-picture questions we haven't yet figured out.

During the internship, your work is reinforced with intensive classes, workshops, and team-based mock trading sessions. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in one "elective" based on your interests, such as Machine Learning and Data Science, Algorithmic Trading and Market Microstructure, or Trading Strategy and Scenarios.
