Jane Street is a global quantitative trading firm and liquidity provider trading a wide range of financial products, including ETFs, equities, futures, commodities, options, bonds, digital assets, and currencies. We have offices in New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam which allow us to make markets continually on more than 200 trading venues in over 40 countries around the world.

Founded in 1988 over a small bookstore in downtown New York City, the D. E. Shaw group began with six employees and $28 million in capital and quickly became a pioneer in computational finance. In the early days of exposed pipes and extension cords, tripping on a cable could take out our whole trading system. Today, the firm has more than 2,500 people around the globe and an institutional-grade (and trip-proof) infrastructure, but we still value creativity, entrepreneurship, and the spirit of discovery.
The firm prizes a culture of collaboration across disciplines, geographies, and investment strategies. Experienced leadership and diversely talented minds chart our course. Analytical rigor, an open exploration of ideas, and a relentless pursuit of excellence drive us forward.
