Department Trading, Research, and Machine Learning

Team Machine Learning

About the Position

Machine learning is a critical pillar of Jane Street’s global business, and our ever-changing trading environment serves as a unique, rapid-feedback platform for ML experimentation. 

Researchers at Jane Street are responsible for building models, strategies, and systems that price and trade a variety of financial instruments. As a mix of the trading and software engineering roles, this work involves many things: analyzing large datasets, building and testing models, creating new trading strategies, and writing the code that implements them.

We’re looking for people to join the research team with deep ML experience in either an applied or academic context. A good candidate should have a deep understanding of a wide variety of ML techniques, and a passion for tinkering with model architectures, feature transformations, and hyperparameters to generate robust inferences. We also want people who are good communicators, with the ability to quickly absorb the context of a new problem, carefully consider tradeoffs, and recommend possible solutions.

As an ML researcher, your expertise will also shape the firm’s future ML developments including hiring new ML researchers, attending conferences, teaching techniques to teammates, and setting firmwide goals.

If you’re a recruiting agency and want to partner with us, please reach out to agency-partnerships@janestreet.com.

Base salary is $250,000 - $300,000. Base salary is only one part of Jane Street total compensation, which includes an annual discretionary bonus.

Company

Jane Street

Jane Street works differently. We are a quantitative trading firm active on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we 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.

Why work for us
Work at Jane Street is exciting and challenging. We trade in incredibly competitive, rapidly evolving environments, and feedback on successes and failures is quick and tangible. This allows for constant evaluation and improvement of our strategies and performance.

Our culture prizes intellectual humility, openness, and curiosity. Staying humble allows us to question our assumptions and to update our views based on new information. Being curious and asking “why” are critical. We talk openly about mistakes because that’s the best way to learn from them.

Training and development
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 20 years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.

What we are looking for
If you’ve never thought about a career in finance, you’re in good company. Many of us had little to no experience in economics or finance before working here. We look for curious people from any background with a passion for critical thinking and creative problem solving. In other words, people like you.
