Desired Skill Set

• Operations and accounting
• Quantitative Trading
• Research
• Software development
• Systems Engineering and Administration

Software development candidates should have:

• Top-notch programming skills, with an interest in (but not necessarily experience with) functional programming languages.
• Deep experience with (and love for) technology. There's no specific checklist; we use software to attack a variety of problems, so we're interested in everything from machine learning to systems administration to programming language design.
• Great people skills. Software development at Jane Street is highly collaborative, and we are looking for people who can work effectively in small, close-knit teams.
• A commitment to the practical. We produce production software on a continuous basis, affecting day-to-day operations in every area of the firm.

Previous experience or course work in finance, business, or economics is not required. We're more interested in how you think and learn than what you know.
