The culture of Jane Street resembles that of a small startup: The atmosphere is casual and informal; we care about doing good work more than dress codes or hours put in; there's not much room for office politics; and, there's a lot of financial upside if you do great work.
Jane Street doesn't seek outside investment and doesn't have customers. The key component of our success isn't fundraising but hiring and training amazing people and giving them the tools they need to innovate.
In short, there are no "business types" here.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're seeking responsible, careful, passionate and skillful technology specialists to help build and maintain our increasingly automated technology infrastructure.
You need to be adept with UNIX (specifically Linux) administration. For example, you want to be able to format filesystems, install bootloaders, and make RPMs. It's even better if you understand system calls, kernel parameters, I/O schedulers, and other lower level internals.
You also need to be a good programmer. We only want people who've had experience writing significant amounts of real-world code. OCaml is our language of choice, but it's okay if you don't know it so long as you show up excited about learning it. Experience in Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl, Scheme, Haskell, Erlang, and others are all acceptable.
We use a lot of open source tools and write the rest ourselves.
We have a large datacenter on-site and several colocation facilities, with hundreds of servers total. We manage all of this with just a small team by leveraging our programming skills to create scalable, automated systems.
Our systems team is tightly integrated with the rest of the company so you get exposure to a broad range of concepts and ideas. Unlike at other large financial firms, we don't treat our technology group as a cost center; on the contrary, our technology group is highly regarded and central to our business.
HOW TO APPLY
Email two documents (in ASCII or PDF format please) to ogunden@janestreet.com:
(1) a cover letter indicating why you think you're a good fit and
