<p>At Hudson River Trading (HRT), C++ is at the center of our live trading systems and research infrastructure. Our C++ engineers build the highly performant, fault-tolerant systems that power trading across global markets. HRT’s distributed system is on the Pareto frontier of latency and throughput, giving you limitless opportunity to leverage your deep knowledge of C++, OS internals, CPU architecture, and networking hardware and protocols. You’ll work side-by-side with researchers, traders, and hardware specialists, implementing solutions where every microsecond matters.</p> <p>Our bottom-up approach to projects and our highly collaborative environment empower talented engineers to make significant contributions and see their impact daily. At HRT, you'll be challenged to solve complex problems in a fast-paced, highly competitive industry, surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the field.</p> <p>C++ Engineers at HRT work on a wide variety of projects. Examples include: </p> <ul> <li>Develop and optimize infrastructure for market data, order entry and execution logic, spanning tens of asset classes including options, equities, futures, crypto, and fixed income. </li> <li>Design fault-tolerant, low-latency systems for live trading, including encoding/prioritization of data over WAN links and recovery from hardware failures.</li> <li>Profile and improve performance-critical code for both throughput and latency in production environments.</li> <li>Build and maintain infrastructure that drives products including client-facing wholesale and SDP platforms, distributed network filesystems, and scalable research workflows.</li> <li>Write software that interfaces with specialized hardware such as FPGAs and ASICs used in trading systems.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Profile</strong></p> <ul> <li>You’re one of the top devs in your current organization, as measured by productivity, technical capability, and helpfulness to other devs.</li> <li>You are capable of solving complex engineering problems independently and providing technical advice for others in areas of your expertise. </li> <li>You can make progress on long-term architectural projects while troubleshooting smaller tasks and bug fixes with agility.</li> <li>You can describe software designs at a high level (the abstract interface), low level (step-by-step algorithm), or anywhere in between. </li> <li>You are always looking for ways to make systems better.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Qualifications</strong></p> <ul> <li>1+ years of professional work experience </li> <li>Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field</li> <li>Superior design, debugging, and problem
