Jane Street: does its software engineer sponsor a UK visa?
Yes. Jane Street sponsors its software engineer for eligible international graduates. Jane Street Europe Limited holds an active Skilled Worker sponsor licence. Certificate-of-Sponsorship data compiled from Home Office FOI releases showed roughly 170 visas sponsored over 3 years, with 94% of one recent year's sponsored workers paid £80k or more, and 'Programmers and software development professionals' the top sponsored occupation, strong concrete evidence of active software-engineer sponsorship at high pay. janestreet.com's own FAQ page was not successfully re-extracted this session, so the verdict rests on the sponsor-licence and occupation-level CoS pattern rather than a fresh direct quote.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?

What is the catch international students miss with Jane Street?
Quant/prop-trading firms in this segment commonly sponsor full-time grad hires more readily than summer interns, who are often already studying in the UK on a Student visa; this general pattern was not specifically confirmed for Jane Street's internship track, so treat internship sponsorship as a separate, unconfirmed question from the graduate scheme covered here.
How should I confirm Jane Street's sponsorship before applying?
Read the specific vacancy on Jane Street's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
