Were looking for smart and curious individuals from academia to join our growing team and drive our ML work. On our Machine Learning team, you'll build the deep learning models that power our trading strategies, supported by our rapidly growing computing cluster with thousands of H100s/200s. Trading poses unusual challengesextreme latency constraints, large datasets, complex feedback loops, and a high level of noisethat force us to search for novel tricks. Researchers, engineers, and traders sit a few feet away from each other and work together to train models, architect systems, and run trading strategies. Depending on the day, we might be diving deep into market data, tuning hyperparameters, debugging distributed training performance, or studying how our model likes to trade in production. Well rely on your in-depth knowledge of the machine learning landscape and understanding of a variety of approachesdrawn from LLMs, image models, RL agents, recommendation systems, or classical ML methodsto shape the future of ML at Jane Street. Youll train models for the next generation of our deep learning-based trading strategies, and build the fundamental understanding we need to tackle new markets and situations. Youll also be hiring new colleagues, attending conferences, and teaching techniques to teammatesall of which we consider to be real and impactful parts of the job. About You
