Jane Street is looking to hire great software developers with an
interest in functional programming. OCaml, a statically typed
functional programming with similarities to Haskell, Erlang, F# and
SML, is our language of choice. We've got the largest team of OCaml
developers in any industrial setting, and probably the world's largest
OCaml codebase. We use OCaml for running our entire business,
supporting everything from research to systems administration to
trading systems. If you're interested in seeing how functional
programming plays out in the real world, there's no better place.
The atmosphere is informal and intellectual. There is a focus on
education, and people learn about software and trading, through both
formal classes and by learning on the job. The work is challenging,
and you get to see the practical impact of your efforts in quick and
dramatic terms. Jane Street is also small enough that people have the
freedom to get involved in many different areas of the business.
Compensation is highly competitive, with a great deal of room for
growth.
You can learn more about Jane Street and our technology from our main
site, http://janestreet.com. You can also look at a a talk given
at CMU about why Jane Street uses functional programming
(http://ocaml.janestreet.com/?q=node/61), our programming blog
(http://ocaml.janestreet.com), and some papers we've written about our
experience using functional programming in the real world
