About the Program

At Jane Street, our internships center around hands-on mentorship and a robust educational curriculum that includes challenging classes, interactive sessions, and small group discussions. Over the course of 10-12 weeks, you’ll be matched with full-time employees who will mentor you as you tackle real-world projects. You’ll also have time to use our office amenities, attend guest speakers and social events, and get a real sense of what it would be like to work here full time.

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 nature, and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have a feeling you’ll fit right in.

About the Position

SPs are versatile generalists who take a deeply analytical and strategic approach to solving Jane Street’s most pressing problems. They move across groups as firm priorities evolve, developing a holistic view of our business and driving cross-functional growth. 

As an SP Intern, you'll work on projects that combine big-picture thinking with rigorous analytical problem-solving. You'll learn to break down complex challenges into actionable steps, use data to inform decisions, and build frameworks to tackle business questions. This hands-on experience will give you direct insight into how SPs lead strategic initiatives across the organization and leave you with a strong grasp of what an SP career looks like.

About You

Someone who excels at taking a structured and detailed approach to solving problems, communicates effectively, can drive projects forward, and has exceptional attention to detail

Excited to learn about a wide range of disciplines and subject matter, including global market dynamics, technical systems and tooling, operational infrastructure, and more 

Eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, and constantly deepen your understanding

Available to start working full-time in 2028
