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

We don’t expect you to have a background in finance or any other specific field — we’re looking for smart people who enjoy solving interesting problems. We’re more concerned with how you think and learn than what you currently know. You should be:

  • 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
  • Fluent in English
