## Job description

### About the Position

We are seeking a leader for our growing team of Linux Engineers.

Members of this group, managers and individual contributors alike, are hard-working Systems Engineers, Administrators, and Programmers, tasked with maintaining and improving the platform that powers Jane Street's production trading systems. (Find out more about the Linux Engineer role here).

We expect managers to come in and lead by example. As well as supporting their teams, the ideal candidate will be excited to start off as an individual contributor, establish a fundamental understanding of Jane Street's technical environment, and gradually grow into a management role.

We are looking for people who are enthusiastic about our values: honesty, cooperation, intellectual curiosity, humility, and a quantitative approach to decision making and problem solving. To succeed in this role, they should be Linux Engineers at heart who have grown into several of the following areas: people management, project and program management, large-scale coordination and communication, partnership facilitation, short- and long-term planning, and service delivery, among others.

### About You

We are looking to hire a Linux Engineer Manager with a strong technical background and solid leadership experience. Candidates are expected to lead by example, prioritizing their individual technical work and their leadership responsibilities accordingly. They should have a willingness to learn OCaml, our language of choice, and meet the following requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or other technical discipline (or equivalent experience)

- Clear and concise communication skills, from one-on-one meetings to larger group discussions, and the ability to efficiently analyze and deconstruct problems

- Successful track record supporting individuals and helping teams thrive

- Experience building and growing firm-wide partnerships

- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills at various levels (technical, process, people, etc.)

- Deep knowledge of operating system fundamentals, especially Linux

- Fluency with the Unix command line and shell scripting

- Practical experience with modern Linux systems and systems programming concepts

- Basic understanding of network protocols

- Programming experience in any language

If you're a recruiting agency and want to partner with us, please reach out to agency-partnerships@janestreet.com.

**Live in Janestreet’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
