Trading Desk Operations Engineer

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.
• To learn more about the role, you can read about the TDOE program and get a sense of what our most recent intern projects looked like. You can also learn more about Jane Street's internship program here.
