This coming January, Jane Street is excited to host our FOCUS programme at our London office. Over the course of two days, you will participate in classes, discussions, and activities that are structured to provide a broad overview of the work our trading, software development, and business development teams do. With countless opportunities to connect with other attendees and employees from across the firm, FOCUS provides an in-depth look at what it’s like to work at Jane Street.

Students will arrive in London on the afternoon of the 8th January and will depart the morning of the 11th January. Jane Street will cover all travel expenses to and from London, including housing, meals, and a variety of social events throughout the programme.

Don’t have a background in finance? No worries — a large number of Jane Street employees don’t come from a financial background. If you’re curious about the work we do and want to learn more about what a career in finance could look like, we want to hear from you!

How to apply:

We ask that you submit a resume, along with a 150-word statement about yourself and why you are interested in attending FOCUS.

The deadline to apply for this event is Sunday, 17th November 2024 at 11:59pm GMT.

We will update you on your application status by Monday, 25th November. If you have any questions, please reach out to focus@janestreet.com.

We hope to see you soon —

[1] To participate in this program, you must be a current undergraduate student who has experienced barriers to accessing advanced STEM educational opportunities.

Our definition of such barriers is broad; they could be related to personal circumstances or financial hardship. We acknowledge the breadth of challenges that could lead a high-achieving student to be under-resourced or under-exposed to advanced STEM opportunities. Examples include, but are not limited to: being a first-generation college/university student, identifying with an underrepresented ethnic/racial minority group, having notable need for financial assistance, attending an under-resourced or rural school, coming from a marginalized community, or experiencing personal hardship. This list is not exhaustive, and we encourage any student who is interested and believes they fit the criteria for the program to apply.

Jane Street works differently. We are a quantitative trading firm active on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people.

We are always recruiting top students and we invest heavily in teaching and training. The environment at Jane Street is open, informal, intellectual, and fun. People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we're just getting started.
