About the Position
We are looking for an experienced recruiter to help us find and hire outstanding interns to join our Software Engineering teams at Jane Street. We’re focused on growing and diversifying our recruiting efforts, and the candidate landscape is more competitive than ever — your input will be critical as we work to stay ahead of the curve.
We’re looking for someone who can manage their own pipeline while also bringing fresh ideas to our approach and processes. This will require finding solutions to big, interesting problems, while also getting the day-to-day details right.
During the campus recruiting season, you’ll get into the weeds with a high volume pipeline of full-cycle candidate management. The observations and lessons learned during each season will inform your suggestions on ways we can optimize our approach.
Our team has a long record of hiring great recruiters and coaching them to their full potential, and we spend lots of time teaching our new hires the ins and outs of recruiting at Jane Street. This includes a thoughtful onboarding process that offers a deep dive into our big-picture strategy and how it applies to our daily work. Over time, we will continue to support your professional growth with hands-on training and mentorship.
Our Recruiting team is an energetic, tight-knit team of people who believe Jane Street’s greatest assets are the people working around us. We love what we do, and who we work with — and this drives our passion for connecting others at the firm with great teammates of their own.
In the past 20 years, we have developed a dynamic and engaging search and interview process to find nearly 3,000 of the strongest hires from all corners of the world, and we’ll rely on your expertise and insights to help drive our strategy forward.

What We Do
Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and 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.
Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar.
Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles.
We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day.
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.
