Jane Street – Our software engineering interviews are changing (a little)

Jane Street is modifying its software engineering interviews to reflect how AI tools have transformed modern development work. The new interview format, currently being trialed for campus candidates, will include less code-writing and more emphasis on software design, code verification, and using LLMs to generate code, while most rounds will still be traditional coding interviews without AI assistance. The company emphasizes that candidates don't need advanced LLM experience to succeed, only clear thinking about tool selection and software development instincts.
