Trades stocks, bonds and funds as a market maker
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.
Most SP careers start with a year-long set of rotations across the entirety of Jane Street’s business—including trading, technology, finance, compliance, operations, and more. The rotations help new SPs develop a broadened skill set, strong cross-group connections, and a detailed understanding of how all the pieces of our business fit together.
This central foundation prepares an SP to take ownership over strategic efforts, both within their team and in cross-functional initiatives. While the rotational year ends with a “permanent” group placement, SPs often move teams throughout their careers as their interests and the firm’s priorities shift. This ultimately allows successful SPs to take an increasingly central role in shaping our business.

Trades stocks, bonds and funds as a market maker
Jane Street trades stocks, bonds, options, and exchange-traded funds with its own money as a market maker, a firm that constantly quotes prices to buy and sell so other investors can trade whenever they want. In 2025, it made more money from trading than JPMorgan Chase or Goldman Sachs, the biggest trading banks on Wall Street. Its traders, researchers, and engineers build computer-driven strategies that trade on exchanges and other venues around the world, and it also trades directly with large institutional clients. It earns the small gap between buying and selling prices across huge volumes, plus gains on positions it holds for minutes to days. Jane Street was founded in 2000 and is based in New York.
