AV Engineer

Location: New York, New York, United States

Department: IT and Systems Engineering

About the Position

We are looking for an Audio/Visual (AV) Engineer to design, implement, and support our robust and resilient AV infrastructure. Technology is a key component of Jane Street’s core business and our AV needs are evolving as we grow, from traditional conference rooms to sophisticated trading floor environments and hybrid collaboration spaces.

In this role, you will be responsible for all AV systems, collaboration platforms, and teleconferencing services, including complex event spaces (500+ person auditoriums), standard meeting rooms (4-50 person capacity), huddle spaces, trading floor communication systems, live event support, and digital signage/IPTV networks. You should be passionate about the AV technology space and eager to help solve business issues by researching, testing, and implementing cutting-edge technologies in a fast-paced financial environment.

The scope of this role is broad and will rely on you to act as a subject matter expert for AV systems, from maintaining and supporting our existing technologies to developing design standards for new and expanding spaces. You’ll be expected to provide exceptional technical support, whether during a field installation or while troubleshooting directly with end users. Our AV Engineers also coordinate closely with our Technology and Infrastructure teams during expansion projects to ensure the infrastructure needs of each project are met.

Our team is composed of AV generalists, and the expectation is that anyone can help across all of our “verticals” (builds, operations, event support). While this role will spend most time in the expansion/builds space, in order to be successful in the role, you will need to be comfortable with changing between focuses and providing support (operational or event) where needed.
