Role summary

Jane Street is seeking an Architect to design, build, and refine its global offices. Based in New York City, this role involves collaborating with internal teams and external consultants across continents to create functional and aesthetically aligned spaces. Responsibilities include project management from inception to completion, setting design priorities, managing budgets and schedules, overseeing construction administration, and translating diverse requirements into practical recommendations. The ideal candidate has 7+ years of experience in workplace architecture, strong design and technical skills, and proficiency with relevant software. A passion for creating spaces that reflect the company's culture and an openness to new tools like AI are highly valued.

About the position

We’re looking for an Architect to help us design, build, and refine our global offices. Based in our New York headquarters, you will work with colleagues across three continents to design spaces that support how Jane Street works.

You’ll work closely with external architects and consultants to shape projects from early design through construction. You’ll set design priorities, review concepts and drawings, and explore alternatives with the project team to make sure the spaces we build meet our needs.

Internally, you will take ownership of projects and workstreams from early planning through design, procurement, construction, closeout, and post-occupancy. This will require collaborating closely with colleagues to turn competing requirements into practical recommendations that balance design quality, budget, schedule, constructability, resilience, and long-term operating and maintenance needs.

We take particular pride in these projects because we get to work in the spaces we build. Every day is an opportunity to help our colleagues do their best work, and we welcome ideas that challenge how things have been done before.

Additional responsibilities of this role will include:

Establishing project briefs, design priorities, scopes, budgets, schedules, and decision processes with colleagues

Developing initial test fits and reviewing and redlining consultant concepts, layouts, drawings, specifications, and details

Coordinating internal teams, external consultants, and contractors to ensure recommendations work across disciplines and reflect Jane Street’s priorities

Managing specialist partners, including furniture vendors, food service consultants, permitting consultants, artists, fabricators, and workplace strategists

Translating input from users, consultants, vendors, and internal teams into practical recommendations that balance design concept and user experience with constructability, schedule, budget, and long-term flexibility

Working with creative colleagues and specialist partners on materials, finishes, furniture, wayfinding, and installations

Overseeing construction administration, including RFIs, submittals, mockups, field observations, change proposals, punch lists, and closeout

Tracking decisions and risks, resolving open issues, and applying lessons from completed projects to future designs, standards, and ways of working

About you

Have 7+ years of experience in workplace architecture and project delivery, with strong design and technical skills, including interior detailing and a working knowledge of building codes

Have an instinct for designing spaces that feel like us: curious in their conception, rigorous in their logic, and thoughtful in every detail

Comfortable taking responsibility for projects and workstreams, managing competing priorities, and coordinating work across regions

Able to delegate work to consultants and hold them accountable without taking over their responsibilities

Can synthesize design, technical, financial, and operational input into practical recommendations, identifying solutions rather than simply documenting problems

Can make sound decisions with incomplete or changing information and maintain credible contingency plans

Can communicate clearly with designers, contractors, and colleagues, seek out others’ expertise, and challenge requirements constructively

Curious about new tools, including AI, and how they can streamline workflows and improve project quality

Proficiency with Bluebeam, Revit, AutoCAD, and Excel is preferred

Architectural licensure is preferred
