Solving Puzzles in Production with Liora Friedberg

Saison 3 · Épisode 20

lundi 7 octobre 2024 • Durée 53:50

Liora Friedberg is a Production Engineer at Jane Street with a background in economics and computer science. In this episode, Liora and Ron discuss how production engineering blends high-stakes puzzle solving with thoughtful software engineering, as the people doing support build tools to make that support less necessary. They also discuss how Jane Street uses both tabletop simulation and hands-on exercises to train Production Engineers; what skills effective Production Engineers have in common; and how to create a culture where people aren’t blamed for making costly mistakes.

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

Some links to topics that came up in the discussion:

More about production engineering at Jane Street, including how to apply.
Notes on Site reliability engineering in the wider world.

From the Lab to the Trading Floor with Erin Murphy

Saison 3 · Épisode 19

vendredi 12 juillet 2024 • Durée 01:03:35

Erin Murphy is Jane Street’s first UX designer, and before that, she worked at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory building user interfaces for space missions. She’s also an illustrator with her own quarterly journal. In this episode, Erin and Ron discuss the challenge of doing user-centered design in an organization where experts are used to building tools for themselves. How do you bring a command-line interface to the web without making it worse for power users? They also discuss how beauty in design is more about utility than aesthetics; what Jane Street looks for in UX candidates; and how to help engineers discover what their users really want.

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

Erin’s website that shows off her work.
Her quarterly journal of sketches and observations.
An article about Erin’s design work with NASA JPL.
