Jane Street
Who we are
We were founded by a small group of traders and technologists in a tiny New York office. Today, we have more than 3000 employees across five global offices. We trade a broad range of asset classes on more than 200 venues in 45 countries. We innovate in tech, from functional programming to machine learning to programmable hardware. And while our proprietary trading business thrives, we put our expertise and experience to work for our clients.
Taking on the most difficult trading challenges
Markets are defined by uncertainty. This is why quantitative thinking is crucial for our business. At Jane Street, we emphasize understanding the edge cases and tail risks that others overlook, and that matter most when markets deviate from expectations. We hire researchers and traders whose ideas and algorithms are informed by a deep mathematical fluency, and technologists who understand their systems from the hardware on up. We understand individual products and the context that informs their prices down to their subtlest details. This allows us to provide liquidity during the market’s most volatile moments.
