First-line lead, typically still 50%+ hands-on. Comp tracks senior ICs closely - leading a team is not a structural raise at Jane Street.
Leads multiple teams or a critical system. Bonus spread widens sharply with proximity to trading revenue.
Owns an engineering group (research infra, trading systems, market data). Effectively a junior-partner economics arrangement in good firm years.
Director-equivalent. Numbers at this level are sparse and inferred - treat the band as directional. Essentially never hired externally.
Jane Street has no formal management ladder - 'team lead' and 'group head' are responsibilities layered onto senior ICs, and most leads keep writing OCaml. Titles below are descriptive, not official. Comp is base + discretionary bonus tied to desk and firm performance; there is no equity.
