Stellenticket Freie Universität Berlin

About the position

At Jane Street, quantitative traders identify market signals, analyze and execute strategies, construct quantitative models, conduct statistical analyses, build algorithmic trading systems, manage risk, develop new businesses, and more.

Our trading desks are central to our collaborative and cooperative office environment. You can expect to work side by side with experienced traders who are committed to teaching, guiding, and supporting our newest hires. Through hands-on, interactive training, you’ll acquire significant trading responsibilities within weeks to months of being on the desk. In parallel, you will participate in our robust year-long firmwide educational curriculum.

At Jane Street, the lines between research, technology, and trading are intentionally blurry. As our strategies grow more sophisticated, close collaboration is essential for continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible. We work with petabytes of data, a computing cluster with hundreds of thousands of cores, and a growing GPU cluster containing thousands of high-end GPUs. We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” modeling 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.

About you

If you’ve never thought about a career in finance, you’re in good company. Many of us were in the same position before working here. Most candidates will have experience with data science or machine learning, but ultimately, we’re more interested in how you think and learn, than what you currently know. You should be:

• Able to apply logical and mathematical thinking to all kinds of problems
• Intellectually curious; eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, and learn new things 
• A strong programmer who’s comfortable with Python
• An open-minded thinker and precise communicator who enjoys collaborating with colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds and areas of expertise
• Fluent in English

Most interns are current undergraduate or graduate students, but we also welcome applicants who have already graduated and are considering a new career in finance. Research experience is a plus.
