Join us for Jane Street Events @ Waterloo on 10/3!

By Jessica

Jane Street will be hosting a couple of events at Waterloo next week! Please sign-up to attend below, meet some Streeters, and of course, enjoy some food and swag! 


Event #1: One log to rule them all

How to keep state straight in distributed systems

Presented by: James Hageman

At Jane Street, we rely heavily on inter-process communication and real-time message passing to drive many of our most critical systems, including those that ingest market data and implement trading strategies. As we scale up the number of components, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to reason about the consistency and correctness of the overall system.

In this talk, we explore how transaction logs, state machine replication, and control flow inversion have allowed us to structure our applications in a way that lets us reliably deal with data races and process failures. We introduce Aria, a low-latency framework built on top of these ideas that has helped Jane Street scale our trading infrastructure while making it more performant, testable, and robust.

Tuesday, October 3rd @ 3:30pm

Davis Centre (DC), Room 1302

Food and swag will be provided. Let us know if you plan on coming! Registration is not required to attend but will help us make sure we have enough food and swag.


Event #2: Jane Street will be hosting a dinner at Waterloo!

Tuesday, October 3rd @ 6:00pm

Location: Waterloo/near campus

Sign up here to register for the event!

Registration for this event will close by EOD on Sunday, October 1st. Please note - this event has a limited capacity and we will be confirming all attendees by EOD on Monday, October 2nd. Waterloo students are welcome to attend for a night of interesting conversations with Streeters, good food, and of course, swag! Waterloo students of all backgrounds and tenures are encouraged to register for our events - if you’re looking for summer 2024 opportunities, applications are open and this event is an excellent opportunity for you to meet someone at Jane Street!

GSA SPARK 2020

By Jessica
  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...   Compete to win prizes! Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.   For 21 days a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges. The contestant deemed to have been most i...
