Job Description

About the Program Our goal is to give you a real sense of what it's like to work at Jane Street full time. Over the course of your internship, you will explore ways to approach and solve exciting problems within your field of interest through fun and challenging classes, interactive sessions, and group discussions - and then you will have the chance to put those lessons to practical use. As an intern, you are paired with full-time employees who act as mentors, collaborating with you on real-world projects we actually need done. When you're not working on your project, you will have plenty of time to use our office amenities, physical and virtual educational resources, attend guest speakers and social events, and engage with the parts of our work that excite you the most. 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. If you have a curious mind, a collaborative spirit, and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have a feeling you'll fit right in. Learn more about Jane Street's internship program here.
