Job Description

We are looking for engineers to power Hudson River Trading's continued expansion into global markets. As an engineer based out of our Singapore 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.

  • 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

About Hudson River Trading

At Hudson River Trading (HRT) we are mathematicians, computer scientists, statisticians, physicists and engineers. We research and develop automated trading algorithms using advanced mathematical techniques. We have built one of the world's most sophisticated computing environments, and our researchers are at the forefront of innovation in the world of algorithmic trading.

HRT’s founding partners graduated from Harvard and MIT with degrees in computer science and mathematics, and founded HRT in 2002. Armed with programming skills and sharp quantitative minds, the founders hypothesized that by applying a fresh take to trading stocks, one that truly leverages the power of technology, they could meaningfully impact a world still dominated by manual operators. Very quickly, their algorithms saw success in the markets and HRT grew from their origins in US equities to a global, multi-asset class trading firm.

Today HRT employs over 800 brilliant minds from a variety of disciplines—from highly technical to deeply mathematical to the liberal arts. We are critical thinkers and eager automators, chasing new solutions to any problem we encounter.

We trade on nearly all of the world’s electronic markets, and are a leading voice for fair and open markets. Our internal code of ethics far exceeds the expectations of the regulatory environment in which we operate. We are conscientious market participants advocating for fair and transparent markets for everyone. This philosophy influences every aspect of our research.
