About the Position
We are looking for a Technology Recruiter to help us identify, interview, and hire experienced candidates across our Engineering teams in our Asia offices. You’ll work on a variety of technical roles, from perennial hires like Software, IT, and Networking roles, to novel hires in areas that we’re expanding.
People and relationships drive our recruiting approach. You’ll partner with hiring managers to develop search strategies, and collaborate with our external recruiting agencies to supplement our traditional pipelines. You’ll also help active candidates navigate our hiring processes. We prize the quality of these relationships and trust them to help us reach our goals; we avoid a strict reliance on numbers and targets.
Hiring the right people is one of the most important parts of our business, and we pride ourselves on maintaining the human element of recruiting. We consider ourselves as much a technology company as a trading firm, and hiring exceptional talent has helped Jane Street become—and remain—an industry leader in technology and innovation. We’re looking for someone with the experience and dedication to maintain that tradition.
About You
- 5+ years of professional experience recruiting top-notch technologists
- Deep experience managing a pipeline of candidates from initial engagement to onboarding, and collaborating with hiring managers to kick off novel searches from scratch
- Highly organized with excellent attention to detail and a roll-up-your-sleeves, no-job-too-small attitude
- Motivated self-starter who can prioritize tasks effectively and turn ideas into action
- Humble attitude about what you know and don’t know; not afraid to ask questions and admit mistakes
- Ability to exercise discretion and be thoughtful about internal and external communication
- Strong team player, with the ability to work effectively within and across various teams, and independently as appropriate
- Natural inclination to prioritize in a commercial manner, and keep candidates and hiring managers fully informed throughout a search
- Willing to travel throughout the year to recruiting conferences and events

What We Do
Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people.
Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar.
Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles.
We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day.
People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
