About the Position

Our goal is to give you a real sense of what it's like to work at Jane Street full time while providing a truly unparalleled educational experience.  

We are looking for individuals of all majors who are interested in exploring what a career as a Trading Desk Operations Engineer (TDOE) might be like. Our TDOE internship is an immersive and fast-paced program that allows you to work on real-world projects directly tied to the challenges we face daily on the trading desk, all guided by a dedicated TDOE mentor. 

You will have the opportunity to wear many hats and tackle diverse projects such as:

  • Managing and optimizing infrastructure and operational processes
  • Supporting trading systems and workflows by executing data queries and coordinating with stakeholders
  • Designing and implementing solutions for a range of trading and operations-related issues on the desk

Through these experiences, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the trading product, including its life cycle, regulatory considerations, and operational workflows. Plus, you'll have a chance to build off your new professional growth with bootcamps and classes that are tailored to accelerate your technical and operational expertise.

Our collaborative trading desks are central to our office environment, and we believe the best way to integrate our interns is through a hands-on, interactive approach. Some of the tools developed by our interns have had a real impact on our trading desks. We can't wait to teach you what we know, and learn a few things from you as well.

About You

If you've never thought about a career in finance, you're in good company. Many of us were in the same position before working here. If you have a curious mind, a collaborative spirit, and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have a feeling you'll fit right in. We're more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know.
