New-grad engineers design and build the systems and tools that run the firm, from trading desks to accounting to foundational infrastructure such as network monitoring and risk models. OCaml is the primary language, with Python increasingly used. Jane Street says it teaches what hires need to know and cares more about how you think and learn than prior knowledge.

New grads join as SDE I, owning the full lifecycle of their code from design through deployment and on-call, with GenAI dev tools part of the stated job. Placement depends on the req: team-specific reqs (Annapurna compilers and runtimes, Robotics, ADC, Leo) fix the org up front, while the flagship req lets you flag skill areas such as ML, distributed systems and databases and places you by business need.

New grads join as L3 software engineers on a specific project, with opportunities to switch teams and projects as the business evolves. The PhD 2027-start reqs are pooled across AI and Infrastructure, Cloud, YouTube, Search and Ads rather than tied to one team, and candidates report team and location alignment late in the process. The 2026 BS/MS req added ‘experience using AI productivity tools’ to its minimum qualifications.
