Network Automation Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Network Automation Engineer to help our Network Security team run, scale, and continuously improve our network security infrastructure through hands-on operations, testing, and automation. You should have advanced programming skills, strong networking fundamentals, and experience with security appliances like firewalls and proxy. 

Jane Street’s numerous distributed systems are built on an agile, reliable, multi-vendor network infrastructure that supports all traffic profiles, from trading to internet connectivity. Supporting such a large multi-function network requires advanced tooling for monitoring and automation. Your daily work will include: 

• Proactively identifying toil reduction opportunities
• Introducing improvements to network security processes
• Formulating automation and monitoring requirements
• Interfacing with app owners and traders to enable business workflows in secure ways
• Contributing to in-house configuration and policy management tooling
• Evaluating and lab testing new platforms for our network security infrastructure
• Setting clear priorities and timelines for DevOps projects
• Implementing, documenting, and supporting software solutions

Having a holistic approach to system design is critical. Our team’s solutions prioritize flexibility, compatibility, and efficiency, all while seeking ongoing buy-in and feedback from people across the firm to ensure we are supporting their daily work and keeping our systems operating at the highest standard.

Jane Street’s culture prizes intellectual humility, openness, and continuous improvement, which translate directly to the work of this team. We’re all partners working toward shared goals—and we’re always looking for the next great idea that will make our work stronger.
