Quantitative Trader

About the Position

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, the lines between research, technology, and trading are intentionally blurry, and 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. We don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" modelling solutions; we are open to and excited about applying all different types of statistical and ML techniques, from linear models to deep learning, depending on what best fits a given problem. 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.
