Our goal is to give you a real sense of what it’s like to work at Jane Street full time while also providing a truly unparalleled educational experience. As an intern, you’ll be paired with full-time employees who act as mentors, collaborating with you on real-world projects we actually need done.
As a Fundamental Analyst Intern, you’ll join our Equities and Commodities Fundamental teams to learn how we integrate in-depth research with the firm’s core quantitative strategies. Your diverse day-to-day work will help us discover new ways to expand our trading opportunities.
Responsibilities
You’ll work on live projects that combine big-picture strategic thinking with detailed data analysis and trading decisions. Your key responsibilities will include identifying and analyzing fundamental trade ideas, preparing for market catalysts, and financial and statistical modeling for a variety of asset classes and time horizons. Throughout this process, you’ll coordinate closely with various internal stakeholders and groups to gather essential information and feedback.
