Software Engineer Intern

As a Software Engineering intern at Jane Street, you'll dive into the world of OCaml, our primary development language, and gain exposure to the libraries and tools that form the foundation of our internal systems. Some teams also use Python, so depending on your project, you might work with both languages.

During your internship, you'll tackle one or two projects under the close mentorship of full-time software engineers. These projects are carefully designed to address current team needs and are intended to reach production. You'll have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of problems, from high-performance trading systems to programming language design and everything in between.

Jane Street values smart, curious individuals who enjoy solving interesting problems. We don't expect you to have a background in finance, OCaml, or functional programming – we're more interested in how you think and learn. As an ideal candidate, you should be:

1. A top-notch programmer with a love for technology
2. Intellectually curious, collaborative, and eager to learn
3. Humble and unafraid to ask questions and admit mistakes

This internship offers a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology in a collaborative environment, solving complex problems in the financial markets. You'll gain valuable experience in functional programming, system design, and working on production-level software. If you're passionate about technology and want to apply your skills to challenging real-world problems, this internship at Jane Street could be the perfect stepping stone for your career in software engineering.
