Description

Responsibilities
- You’ll find Software Engineers in all parts of Jane Street, solving real problems in critical areas ranging from trading desks to our accounting team, as well as building foundational infrastructure, whether that means implementing network monitoring or risk models. We are big believers in functional programming, and use OCaml as our primary development language (we have the largest team of OCaml developers in any industrial setting).
- Beyond our own environment, we also recognise the value of open source software, leveraging it in our daily work and releasing hundreds of thousands of lines of our own code as open source. We’re also always looking for ways to expand open source projects, and provide ongoing support to things like Mercurial, the OCaml compiler, and the OPAM package manager. That said, we’re interested in talented engineers with experience in any language—most of us came in with little to no practical experience in OCaml before we joined.
