Ab Initio Software

www.abinitio.com/en/

Stand 15

Ab Initio’s customers use our enterprise software platform to build applications that tackle the largest and most complex data processing challenges. These applications are some of the most complex operational and analytical systems in the world - mission critical applications with demanding performance requirements.

The characteristics of these applications include the processing of huge volumes of data (petabytes are not uncommon); low latency real-time applications; applications that dynamically reconfigure themselves based on their data and applications that scale as data volumes increase.

Ab Initio has grown through reference rather than marketing, so you may not have heard of us, but our customers are among the largest companies in the world in industries such as financial services, retail, telecommunications, transportation, healthcare and high tech.

We are headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and have offices all over the world. Our UK office is in Weybridge, Surrey. We are looking for PhD STEM students who love to solve problems by really getting into detail, as well as having a desire for continual personal learning and development. If that sounds like you and you’re interested in hearing about the roles we are recruiting for, we’d love to talk!

Jane Street works differently. We are a quantitative trading firm active on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we help form the backbone of global markets.

Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, and Singapore are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between our larger and smaller offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar.

Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles.

We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day.

People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
