# OxCaml Educator at Jane Street

- **Company:** Jane Street
- **Location:** London England, United Kingdom
- **Posted:** 2025-10-06
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-10

## Job description

## About the Position

Jane Street is hard at work building [OxCaml](https://oxcaml.org/), a branch of OCaml with a variety of extensions to support performance engineering. But designing and implementing the language is only half the battle: we need our developers to understand its nuances and program in OxCaml as experts. That's where you come in.

We’re looking for an experienced, skilled educator to help us develop materials and deliver courses to teach engineers at Jane Street how to use OxCaml effectively. You would work broadly across our internal educational programs, from expanding our OCaml Bootcamp for new hires to use OxCaml to developing specific tutorials to level-up experienced developers that need OxCaml's most advanced features.

This is a unique opportunity to work hand-in-hand with a language's designers and implementers to develop its educational component. You would be part of the team within Jane Street building the next generation of OxCaml.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

- We want someone who is a skilled, effective, and experienced teacher. Part of that means being an effective writer and presenter.
- The job demands an understanding of our technology stack, and the best way to build that understanding is by doing. That means we want someone who is good at writing code, and is excited to spend a significant fraction of their time doing so.
- Part of the job is going to be directly teaching and developing curricula. But an equally important part is helping other people involved in teaching grow their skills, so we want someone who is good at mentoring other budding teachers.
