    Job description

    About the position

    Our goal is to give you a real sense of what it's like to work at Jane Street full time while also providing a truly unparalleled educational experience. 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.

    As a Network Engineer intern, you’ll work with full-timers to learn how we maintain and improve a critical piece of infrastructure underlying our firm’s technology. Our numerous distributed systems are built on a reliable, multi-vendor network infrastructure that supports all traffic profiles from trading to internet connectivity.

    On any given day, we might be:

    • Working on cross-team projects such as site expansions and new colocation builds
    • Debugging routing protocols
    • Provisioning new market data feeds and connections to third parties
    • Automating support tasks and improving the team's ability to monitor the network

    You’ll have a unique opportunity to see how our team interacts with several groups to build solutions that work on a firm-wide scale. We automate as much of our work as we can because we find that automation reduces our error rate and overall workload—plus, we think it's fun.

    Your internship project might consider big-picture questions that we’re still trying to figure out, or involve building something new. Your mentors will help you understand the range of problems we solve every day, from finding new and interesting ways to resolve production issues quickly, to performing comprehensive root-cause analyses and integrating clean and robust long-term fixes.

    About you

    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. We're more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know. You should be:

    • Able to understand network protocols (ARP, BGP, OSPF) at a basic level
    • Knowledgeable of operating system fundamentals and computer architecture
    • A strong programmer who can demonstrate high potential and an aptitude for learning
    • Intellectually curious, collaborative, and eager to learn
    • Humble and unafraid to ask questions and admit mistakes
    • A strong communicator
    • Comfortable at the command line of a *nix machine
    • Fluent in English
