As a Windows Engineering intern, you’ll work side by side with full-timers in the IT department to learn how we design, deploy, secure, and maintain the automation tools and key infrastructure components that are critical to Jane Street’s success. Our Windows Engineers manage a combination of systems we’ve created ourselves, open-source tools meshed together to provide higher-level functions, and integrations with industry-leading third-party tools and platforms. All of these systems serve to support the Windows desktop and server estate, as well as the tech infrastructure across the company, regardless of platform. Our automation tools help Engineers develop solutions and integrations quickly, efficiently, and reliably.
On any given day, you may be brainstorming approaches to improve systems and workflows, writing code, or learning about a new technology our team may want to deploy. You’ll also learn how we use OCaml (our primary development language), F# (a similar language used with our Windows systems), and PowerShell (a scripting language used for the majority of our automation in IT) in our day-to-day work, and gain exposure to the libraries and tools that are foundational to our internal systems.
