I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Jane Street in Jul 2025
Interview
First round was a Linux heavy interview, not extremely technical but you need to know your stuff. Second round was a typical software engineering interview at Jane Street (it's conducted by a software engineer, not a Linux engineer like the first one). Then there is the Jane Street full day on site interview.
