Experienced Low Level Software Engineer (C++)
Job Description
Hudson River Trading’s coders work on small, highly productive, and efficient teams that design, improve, and maintain the technology that powers worldwide trading — at HRT, the code you write is our business. You’ll have an opportunity to work alongside a range of developers across the firm who write trading algorithms, monitor trading, build and maintain a world-class research environment, and more!
We are looking for highly skilled programmers who love to code and solve complex problems, appreciate a culture of collaboration, and thrive in a performance-driven environment. You can always expect to be challenged by the ever-changing financial markets, and find yourself working on critical software in an extremely fast-paced, real-time environment.
HRT's distributed system is on the Pareto frontier of latency and throughput, you’ll have limitless opportunity to continue to learn and develop deep knowledge of C++, OS internals, CPU architecture, and networking hardware and protocols.
Profile
- You’re one of the top devs in your current organization, as measured by productivity, technical capability, and helpfulness to other devs
- You are capable of working independently as well as part of a team
- You can analyze and fix problems quickly
- You can look at code, figure out how it works, and identify ways to make it better
- You can describe software designs at a high level (the abstract interface), low level (step-by-step algorithm), or anywhere in between
- You work well alongside people who challenge you and make you better at what you do
- 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.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
- Superior design, debugging, and problem solving skills
- Advanced C++ experience is required, daily use preferred
- Knowledge of UNIX operating systems (we use Linux), system/processor performance, and network communication
Annual base salary range of $175,000 to $250,000. Pay (base and bonus) may vary depending on job-related skills and experience. A sign-on and discretionary performance bonus may be provided as part of the total compensation package, in addition to company-paid medical and/or other benefits.
