Right now, we're looking to hire an FPGA engineer in London. Our hardware team is still small, but I expect we'll be doing more hiring as time goes on. https://www.janestreet.com/join-jane-street/apply/ld

Hey, author of the linked post here. A few thoughts, since some things have changed since that post was written: First, the tooling limitations that I mentioned in the article have gotten a lot better. In particular: Merlin now provides IDE

OCaml isn't without its warts (like any language), but I don't quite think you've nailed them. For one, the different stdlibs are in fact highly compatible. Basic types (option, result, string, int, array, float) are all the

That's not the intended implication, and Jane Street has in no way taken over the show. Our PRs are discussed vigorously, just like everyone else's, and they're definitely not always accepted! Indeed, one of the great things

I'm not sure I agree with the "don't do it often". Having jane-script (which is our OCaml scripting system) has allowed us to greatly reduce our dependence on Bash. That said, there are still little things we use Bash fo

Indeed, js_of_ocaml is kind of shocking in its fidelity. It can compile even highly complex libraries that do lots of runtime tricks. Async_kernel and Incremental_kernel both compiled and worked without any issues whatsoever. We've eve

Actually, we've funded lots of things that we don't directly use. For example, we funded the development of OPAM, which we don't use internally at all. Moreover, the funding of OCaml Labs was aimed broadly at improving the
