Senior Mechanical Engineer

About the Position

We are looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to join a highly technical group responsible for the design and construction of our physical office spaces. This position sits within our Engineering group, a team of creative problem-solvers who design with the intention to optimise the work experience at Jane Street. Our team operates with little red tape and our project goals often require new ideas and unique solutions — that’s where you come in.

Our goal is to successfully manage, design and deliver highly reliable trading floors, colocation facilities, data centres, amenity spaces and food service areas for our business. As we expand our global offices, you’ll work and collaborate with many internal departments and external vendors to execute our vision, while factoring in connectivity with our satellite offices and colocation facilities around the world.

We’re looking for someone with a breadth of experience in thoughtfully designing mission-critical spaces and structures. Regardless of your specific engineering discipline, whether that be electrical, mechanical or building services engineering, we encourage you to apply. We’re more focused on finding someone who’s able to convey their strong vision and execute at an exceptional level than specific skills or background. This is an exciting time of growth and evolution for our company; your work and designs will be foundational to our firm’s continued success.
