About the Position

We are looking for a Data Engineer who can help us understand, clean, manage, and share the data that guides our trading. At Jane Street, having a thorough and accurate understanding of data is at the core of the work we do.

Using our mix of in-house and open-source software, you will analyze datasets gathered from a variety of sources, checking for anomalies, matching formats and symbologies, automating ETL processes, and generally making it easier for our traders to generate valuable insights.

While prior experience with financial data would be nice, we don’t expect you to have a finance background. We’re happy to hire talented engineers and teach them what they need to know.
