## About the Role

About the Position We're always hiring software engineers for all of our offices. Technology is at the core of how we approach our work, and engineers are intimately involved in every area of the business.

More recently, Python has become a vital part of Jane Street's research and trading work, acting as the go-to language for data analysis, visualization, and machine learning.

Street is highly collaborative, and we are looking for people who can work effectively in small, close-knit teams We don't expect you to have experience with functional programming, OCaml, Python, or finance; we're happy to hire talented engineers and teach them what they need to know.
