ABOUT THE POSITION
If you are imagining a daily routine that involves making copies and watching as
someone turns a computer off and back on, think again: this is not your typical
IT internship. 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.
We will train you as if you're joining our full-time team of IT Operations
Engineers who are responsible for the support, configuration and operation of
multiple systems across all of our technology stacks, including desktop
engineering, network and various application platforms. You will help in a
hands-on capacity as we make improvements to our office environment. This can
include: responding to technology support requests, building and configuring
Windows and Linux devices, supporting our Windows domain infrastructure,
monitoring and supporting systems and helping with projects to optimize the way
we work using tools like PowerShell.
Our IT interns are friendly and collaborative problem-solvers who enjoy helping
people. They are able to troubleshoot in real time and engage with our end
users, and are comfortable asking questions and admitting to mistakes. Our
internships provide a great introduction to Jane Street and how we think about
and solve problems across all teams. Often, successful interns have been invited
to return for a full-time position after graduation.

ABOUT YOU
If you've never thought about a career in finance, you're in good company. Many
of us were in the same position before working here. If you have a curious mind,
a collaborative spirit, and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have

than what you currently know. You should be:
• Knowledgeable of computer hardware components and how they interact with each
other
• Familiar with the Windows operating system
• Interested in learning about networking, programming or system administration
• Eager to help people and solve problems; able to communicate clearly and
respectfully
• A reliable team player with a "no job too small" attitude
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Humble and unafraid to ask questions and admit mistakes
• Able to deconstruct technical problems, and willing to take a hands-on
approach to gain experience in diagnosing, troubleshooting and resolving
technical issues at the desktop, server and network levels
• Able to develop and maintain technical documentation
• Some familiarity (either personal, academic, or professional) with a
scripting language, such as PowerShell or Bash, is a plus
• Fluent in English
