Hudson River Trading (HRT) is one of the top algorithmic trading companies in the world. Our research cluster is the backbone of our success; it’s where all of our trading strategies are generated.

We use a large, customized research environment with highly advanced CPU and GPU compute, storage, and networking technology. Our team thinks about the entire software stack, from the user-level API to optimizing performance out of low-level caching. We deal with everything from the theoretical, like fair resource scheduling, to the concrete, like optimizing a trader’s new program run-time performance. 

As a distributed compute engineer in a user-facing environment, you’ll develop and improve on technical solutions that make research as easy and efficient as possible. You’ll work every day with both talented quantitative traders and software engineers across all trading teams.

Responsibilities

• Ensure HRT’s research environment is best in class, with a focus on user workloads
• Maintain and improve resource scheduling, data caching, and job monitoring to make research as easy, fast, and efficient as possible, using both in-house and open source solutions
• Optimize workloads at the user level to speed up user iteration speed
• Tune workloads at the infrastructure level to make them more resource-efficient
• Share metrics and real-time information with users to give insight into workload behavior
• Sit down with users to understand their specific technical needs
• Contribute individually and through leadership and coordination of the above
• Set technical direction for the platform and take holistic ownership of the software infrastructure that supports Algo research

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Strong C++ expertise (daily use preferred)
• Python familiarity preferred
• Experience collaborating closely with quantitative researchers and traders to understand their needs
• Great communication capabilities
• Superior design, debugging, and problem solving skills
• Knowledge of UNIX operating systems (we use Linux), system/processor performance, and network communication

We are looking for engineers to power Hudson River Trading's continued expansion into global markets. As an engineer based out of our Hong Kong office, you will play a critical role in the process of establishing HRT's presence in Asia-Pacific markets and work closely with our algo and operations teams to ensure the continued success of our trading. You will also be deeply involved in the continuous, ongoing process of optimizing trading in markets HRT already has a presence in.

In this role, you'll be expected to own the process of entering new markets and manage market changes over time. With this responsibility, you'll gain broad exposure to both the technical and business aspects of our trading operation. It is difficult to overstate the impact of this role - you will immediately contribute to the bottom line as HRT begins trading in markets it previously had no presence in and HRT’s trading in existing markets becomes more profitable.

Profile

• In your spare time you: code, tinker, read, explore, break things, and have an insatiable curiosity for all things computer related... you'll find like-minded people here.
• You possess a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field
• You are capable of working independently as well as part of a team
• You can analyze and fix problems quickly
• Can look at code, figure out how it works, and how to make it better
• Can describe software designs at a high level (the abstract interface), low level (step-by-step algorithm), or anywhere in between
• You really like to work with people who challenge you and make you better at what you do​

Qualifications

• C++ experience required
• Familiarity with UNIX operating systems and comfort at a command line
• Must be fluent (reading, writing and conversing) in English
• Adept at working independently and in self-management
• Experience developing market data and order entry systems a plus
