Quantitative Trader Internship, June-September

Full job description

Our goals are to give you a real sense of what it's like to work as a Quantitative Trader at Jane Street while also providing a truly unparalleled educational experience. You'll be paired with experienced quantitative traders who will teach you how to identify market signals, analyse and execute strategies, construct quantitative models, conduct statistical analysis, and build trading intuition. At Jane Street, the lines between research, technology, and trading are intentionally blurry, and you'll have access to petabytes of data, a computing cluster with hundreds of thousands of cores, and a growing GPU cluster containing tens of thousands of high-end GPUs. You'll work closely with two different mentors on projects relating to their day-to-day work. During the internship, your work is reinforced with intensive classes, workshops, and team-based mock trading sessions. As a quantitative trading intern, you'll also have the opportunity to participate in one "elective" based on your interests, covering Machine Learning/Modelling/Data Science, Algorithmic Trading and Market Microstructure, or Trading Strategy and Scenarios. About you: a strong quantitative thinker (no specific degree or major is required); a clear and effective verbal and written communicator; someone who enjoys working collaboratively on a team; eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, and learn new things; fluent in English. General programming experience is a plus, but knowing a particular programming language is not required.
