This January, Jane Street is excited to host our annual INSIGHT program in Hong Kong! We’re inviting students who identify as women, transgender, and gender expansive in their second year of university to spend three days in our office learning more about what we do and how we do it through a set of trading and programming classes and activities. Attendees will receive an in-depth look into the ways we use math and computer science every day and insight into the different roles that exist within our firm.

Selected students will arrive in Hong Kong on the evening of January 7th and will depart on January 12th 2025. Jane Street will cover all travel to and from Hong Kong, including meals, housing, and a variety of social events.

INSIGHT has three different program tracks students can apply for:

• Trading — students will learn about mathematical and financial topics such as probability, market structure, and arbitrage through a combination of short lectures, group games, and mock trading sessions.
• Software engineering — students will learn OCaml, the libraries and tools we use in our daily work, and how to put them to use by building a computer game. Participants will also learn the fundamentals of electronic trading systems and write a program that trades on a simulated stock exchange.
• Strategy and product — attendees will get a glimpse into the work that goes on in our Strategy and Product Internship and Rotational Development Programme. Case studies and problem-solving exercises will introduce participants to how we optimize funding and financing, set up new trading flows, respond to regulatory inquiries, and generally manage the complex mechanics that underlie Jane Street’s business.

Apply here to be considered for a spot.

The deadline to apply for this event is Sunday, 3 November 2024 at 11:59 pm HKT.

You will be notified of your application status within two weeks after the deadline. Applicants moving on to the next round will receive an invitation to complete an online assessment based on the program track they applied for.

If you have any questions, please email hkg-insight@janestreet.com and someone from our team will get back to you. To explore other programs we have available, please see here.

Good luck with the application process and we hope to meet you soon!
