As a Quantitative Research intern, you’ll work side by side with full-timers to learn how we identify market signals, analyse large datasets, build and test models, and create new trading strategies.
At Jane Street, we blur the lines between trading and research, fostering a fluid environment where teams work in a tight loop to solve complex problems. 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.
Our advanced proprietary trading models are the backbone of our operation, enabling us to identify profitable trading opportunities across hundreds of thousands of financial products, in over 200 trading venues globally. We utilise petabytes of data, our computing cluster with hundreds of thousands of cores, and our growing GPU cluster containing thousands of A/H100s to develop trading strategies in adversarial markets that evolve every day.
During the programme you’ll focus on two projects, mentored closely by the key stakeholders who’ve worked on them. You may conduct a study of some new or existing dataset, build new tools that support the firm’s research, or consider big-picture questions that we’re still trying to figure out. The problems we work on rarely have clean, definitive answers — and they often require insights from colleagues across the firm with different areas of expertise.
