Over the last few years we have built up a team of more than 20 functional programmers, and we're looking to hire more. A couple of notes: * We have offices in London, New York and Tokyo. We are especially eager to hire OCaml developers into the Tokyo office. * We are particularly interested in developers who have experience in systems administration and design. Here's a quick summary of what Jane Street is all about: ------------------------------------------------- Jane Street is a trading firm that brings a deep understanding of trading, a scientific approach, and innovative technology to bear on the problem of trading profitably on the world's highly-competitive financial markets. We run a small, nimble operation where technology and trading are tightly integrated. At Jane Street, there is room to get deeply involved in a number of areas at the same time. We are actively looking for people interested in software development, system administration, and quantitative research--potentially all on the same day. The ideal candidate has: * A commitment to the practical. One of the big attractions of our work is the opportunity to apply serious ideas to real-world problems. * Experience with functional programming languages (OCaml, SML, Scheme, Haskell, Lisp, F#, Erlang, etc) is important. Applicants should also have experience with UNIX and a strong understanding of computers and technology. * Good second-order knowledge. In trading, understanding the boundary between what you do and don't know is as (or more) important than how much you know. * If you're interested in research, a strong mathematical background is a must. This includes a good understanding of probability and statistics, calculus, algorithms, etc. We draw on ideas from everywhere we can, so we value interest and experience in a range of scientific fields. The environment at Jane Street is open, informal, intellectual, and fun. You can wear a t-shirt and jeans to the office every day, the kitchen is stocked, and discussions are always lively. We encourage a focus on learning, both through formal seminars and classes, as well as through day-to-day conversations with colleagues. Other perks include competitive salaries, rapid advancement for people who do well, excellent benefits, free lunch, and a gym on-site (the last is NY only). If you are interested, send an application to Yaron Minsky (yminsky@janestcapital.com) including a resume, cover letter, and optionally some sample code you've written. If you'd like to know a little bit more about how we came to use OCaml as our primary development language, take a look at these slides from a talk we gave at CUFP 2006 and the article I wrote for the Monad Reader. http://www.galois.com/cufp/slides/2006/YaronMinsky.pdf http://www.haskell.org/sitewiki/images/0/03/TMR-Issue7.pdf -- Yaron Minsky
