Ella Ehrlich has been a developer at Jane Street for close to a
decade. During much of that time, she’s worked on Gord, one of
Jane Street’s oldest and most critical systems, which is
responsible for normalizing and distributing the firm’s trading
data. Ella and Ron talk about how to grow and modernize a legacy
system without compromising uptime, why game developers are the
“musicians of software,” and some of the work Jane Street has
done to try to hire a more diverse set of software engineers.

You can find the transcript for this episode on our
website.

Some links to topics that came up in the discussion:

EG, The League of Legends team that Ella is a huge fan of.

Apache Kafka, the message bus that Gord migrated to.

Some of the various sources of symbology you have to deal
with when normalizing trading data. (Really, there are too many
sources to list here!)

A list of Jane Street’s recruiting Programs and Events,
including INSIGHT, which focuses on women, and IN FOCUS, which
focuses on historically underrepresented ethnic or racial
minorities.
