Trading and Research
At Jane Street, trading and research roles combine to form a collaborative quantitative team. Traders and researcherswork together to develop the mathematical models and automated trading strategies that drive our business. We’ve been atthe forefront of applying machine learning techniques to quantitative finance, tackling research problems ranging fromsub-microsecond trading to uncovering long-term market inefficiencies across trillions of historic events.
Researchers develop novel models and approaches, implementing them in code, to form the core of our systematic models.Traders focus on enhancing these models, analyzing their performance, and identifying new opportunities for optimizationand automation. While some opportunities require rapid decision-making, the majority of our trading is fully automated,with traders leveraging their quantitative skills to continually improve and scale our strategies.
