Posted2 hours ago
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 everyday 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
The estimated base salary range for this position is 200,000 to 300,000 USD per year (or local equivalent). The base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This role will also be eligible for discretionary performance-based bonuses and a competitive benefits package.
