We are looking for a proactive and organized Regulatory Capital and Risk Analyst. Your work will focus on the regulatory net capital (or “15c3-1”) requirements of Jane Street’s U.S. broker-dealers.

This role is an opportunity to gain an excellent understanding of the firm’s trade flows, how the capital rules impact them, and how best to optimize and improve capital efficiency. Our team is highly collaborative, and you should look forward to working closely with other team members and groups to ensure that the firm’s goals are met.
